I have Ship_Date as 12/14/2013 20:27 and defined as varachar datatype in the source table.How can I convert this to timestamp format and load as is 12/14/2013 20:27?I'm using CAST (SHIP_DATE AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYHH:MI:SS') AS SHIP_DATE but terdata is throwing invalid timestamp error.Please help in resolving the issue
You were missing the B indicating a blank/space in your original cast. But Teradata casts chokes on a single digit month. You can add a leading zero using a RegEx:
Cast(RegExp_Replace(SHIP_DATE,'\b([\d])\b', '0\1') AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT'dd/mm/yyyyBhh:mi')
select to_timestamp('12/14/2013 20:27','MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI');
The problem with your cast as you have it written is you are telling Teradata you have seconds in your string when you don't. You can use:
select cast ('12/14/2014 20:27' as TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYBHH:MI')
However, this still won't handle single digit months.
The issue here is the empty space between 2013 and 20 and the missing zeros for the seconds.
I did oreplace to remove the space and concatenation and it worked.
SELECT
CAST (
( OREPLACE('12/14/2013 20:27', ' ','') ||':00')
AS TIMESTAMP(0) FORMAT 'MM/DD/YYYYHH:MI:SS'
) AS SHIP_DATE
And the result is below:

pdt.startTime is datetime
s_first.FromTimeOfDay is a time
I want to subtract the time drom the datetime. When i run the code below, Snowflake gives me this error invalid type [CAST(S_FIRST.FROMTIMEOFDAY AS TIMESTAMP_NTZ(9))] for parameter 'TO_TIMESTAMP_NTZ'
select (pdt.StartTime - (SELECT s_first.FromTimeOfDay::datetime FROM Shift s_first))
from RAW_CPMS_AAR.POWERBI_DowntimeTable AS PDT
When i try this:
select (pdt.StartTime::TIMESTAMP_NTZ(9) - (SELECT s_first.FromTimeOfDay::TIMESTAMP_NTZ(9) FROM Shift s_first))
from RAW_CPMS_AAR.POWERBI_DowntimeTable AS PDT
I get more or less the same error: invalid type [CAST(S_FIRST.FROMTIMEOFDAY AS TIMESTAMP_NTZ(9))] for parameter 'TO_TIMESTAMP_NTZ'
How do I convert the time into a datetime format so that I can subtract the two. It doesnt seem to me that there is a clear way to convert time into datetime in snowflake.
Is this what you're after?
select current_timestamp() as sample_timestamp
, time(sample_timestamp) as sample_time
, date(sample_timestamp) as sample_date;
A user pointed me in the right direction. i didnt realize i could use "dateadd" to also subtract time.
dateadd(HOUR, - (HOUR(current_timestamp())), temp.DateTime)
there are multiple timestamps column in oracle Sql , Now in want to convert 12 hour format time into 24 hour format time like 01-FEB-18 01.00.21.645000000 PM should be 05-01-0018 13:12:44. but I need to convert hours into 24 hours time format , I am using the below statement.
SELECT TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP,'DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM'),'DD-MM-YYYY hh24:mi:ss')
FROM FACT_WORK_ITEM_ACTION
WHERE TRUNC(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP)>= '05-JUN-18'
But still i am getting the below error .
Error Code....
ORA-01855: AM/A.M. or PM/P.M. required
01855. 00000 - "AM/A.M. or PM/P.M. required"
*Cause:
*Action:
SELECT to_char( TO_timestamp('01-FEB-18 01.21.01.645','dd-mon-yy hh12.mi.ss.ff'),'dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss')
from dual;
Your PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP is already a timestamp, which doesn't have any intrinsic human-readable format - Oracle uses its own internal representation when storing the values.
You are just seeing that timestamp displayed by your client with formatting taken from the session NLS settings (or, possibly, overridden by the client itself).
The error is because you are doing unnecessary data type conversions and relying on implicit conversion and NLS session settings. When you do
TO_DATE(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP,'DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM')
you are first implicitly converting the PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP to a string, again using your session NLS settings, so you're effectively doing:
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP),'DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM')
which given the string values in your question is actually:
TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SS.FF AM'),'DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM')
The inner part of that will give a string like "01-FEB-18 01.00.21.645000000 PM" which is what you see when you query the table and the client does its own formatting. Passing that string back into to_date() gives the error you see, because the fractional seconds are appearing in the string where it's expecting to see the AM/PM marker:
SELECT TO_DATE('01-FEB-18 01.00.21.645000000 PM','DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM')
FROM DUAL;
Error report -
ORA-01855: AM/A.M. or PM/P.M. required
You could replace the implcit conversion and session values with explicit conversion and format masks:
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM'),'DD-MON-YYYY hh:mi:ss AM'), 'DD-MM-YYYY hh24:mi:ss')
But hopefully you can tell that is doing a lot more work than it needs to -and having to use the same format mask twice is also a sign that you're doing something wrong.
The real solution is just to simplify it. You don't need to convert to a string and back to a date at all. Just do:
SELECT TO_CHAR(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM FACT_WORK_ITEM_ACTION
WHERE PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP >= TIMESTAMP '2018-06-05 00:00:00';
Notice that I've also removed the trunc() and the comparison with a string; this now compares your timestamp column as a timestamp, which will make any index on that happier too.
Quick demo with a CTE to provide dummy data:
with FACT_WORK_ITEM_ACTION(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP) as (
select timestamp '2018-06-01 13:00:21.645000000' from dual
union all select timestamp '2018-06-06 13:00:21.645000000' from dual
)
SELECT TO_CHAR(PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM FACT_WORK_ITEM_ACTION
WHERE PERFORMED_TIMESTAMP >= TIMESTAMP '2018-06-05 00:00:00';
TO_CHAR(PERFORMED_T

I have a string column - COL1 in TABLE1 which is if string data type. This table is loaded by Informatica session ( data coming from mainframe) and the format of the COL1 is YYYY-MM-DD. Now I have to use TABLE1 as the source in my next mapping . In the SQL override query of second mapping i will be casting COL1 to date using the below query .
SELECT
CAST(COL1 AS DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS CHK_DT FROM TABLE1
But when i try to execute this query in Teradata SQLA, just to check if it runs fine it gives me below error.
SELECT Failed. 2666: Invalid date supplied for COL1.
Can you please help me resolve this issue ? This is not the only date column which has issue, there are two more date columns . I guess the resolution is same for all three columns .
P.S - Just to verify, I updated all rows of COL1 of TABLE1 as 2016-12-12 and ran the select statement, select worked fine . I then updated COL1 of all rows as 2016-13-12, it gave same error . If either of DD or MM is more than 12, it is giving me error
Thanks
If DATE is represented/stored in ANSI standard literal YYYY-MM-DD, the CAST will work.
SELECT CAST('2016-12-13' AS DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS Date1
However i doubt that in your case.
The date is most probably in YYYY-DD-MM format. In that case the ANSI standard format will throw the error. You need YYYY-DD-MM
select CAST('2016-13-12' AS DATE FORMAT 'YYYY-DD-MM') AS Date2
P.S. You can confirm the conversion to date using TYPE() function. It should return DATE in your case
Hi Please try this piece of code
CAST(CAST(date_col AS FORMAT 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS VARCHAR(15))
instead of the transformation you are using.
Thanks for your response. However the issue was something else. Some of the incoming records had space in this column . So I had to tweak my informatica mapping to put a trim on date column . Now the select is running fine . Thanks for your time .
A is in the format of timestamp(6). I need it in timestamp(0). The code I am using is the following:
cast(cast(A AS date) as timestamp(0))
FROM 'table'
where A >= '?StartDT'
After inputing the date I want for the parameter I get the 'Invalid timestamp' error.
If A is truly a Timestamp(6) then casting it first as a DATE will affectively trim off the time elements, so when you cast the result to a TIMESTAMP(0) you are going to end up with a time of 00:00:00.
You'll need to also cast the TIMESTAMP(6) field as a time and then add the results together like:
CAST(CAST(A AS DATE) AS TIMESTAMP(0)) + (CAST(A AS TIME(6)) - TIME '00:00:00' HOUR TO SECOND)
You can also use SUBSTRING() to snip off the last 6 characters of the TIMESTAMP(6) field and cast that resulting string to a TIMESTAMP(0):
CAST(SUBSTRING(CAST(A AS CHAR(26)) FROM 1 FOR 19) AS TIMESTAMP(0))
This doesn't address the INVALID TIMESTAMP error you are getting though. Are you certain that field A is a TIMESTAMP(6) and not a VARCHAR() that looks like a Timestamp? What happens when you remove the outer cast, are their any dates in the result that look like they wouldn't convert nicely to a timestamp? Something is not quite right here, and I suspect that it's in your data.
Help me please with the next problem.
I have date time string in the next format(ISO 8601): 1999-12-31T23:59:59
and I need to cast it to TIMESTAMP value. The main problem in 'T' separator character.
I have tried next query:
SELECT TIMESTAMP_FORMAT('1999-12-31T23:59:59','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') FROM ROMAN.EMPLOYEE;
and use different format strings, such as, YYYY-MM-DDTHH24:MI:SS, YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS.
Could you provide me correct way to cast this type of strings without any character replacement and substrings.
Thanks in advance!
There is no built-in function that can format a timestamp in ISO-8601 format in DB2 for Linux/UNIX/Windows.
As you have probably surmised, you can do this with REPLACE:
select
TIMESTAMP_FORMAT(REPLACE('1999-12-31T23:59:59','T',' '), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
from
ROMAN.EMPLOYEE;
It's trivial to create a user defined function (UDF) to handle this formatting for you as well so you don't have to out this long string in every query.
It may also be possible to do it via XQuery with and xs:dateTime, although this would be even more code than just embedding REPLACE in the call to TIMESTAMP_FORMAT.
