ORA-01830: Date format picture ends before converting entire input string

You are trying to convert a string into a date using the to_date function, but the format mask used is not of sufficient length:
SQL> select to_date('20051101 00:00:01', 'YYYYMMDD') from dual;
select to_date('20051101 00:00:01', 'YYYYMMDD') from dual
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
In order to fix this problem, you will need to extend your format mask:
SQL> select to_date('20051101 00:00:01', 'YYYYMMDD HH24:MI:SS') from dual;

TO_DATE('
---------
01-NOV-05

On executing query
select to_date('02038789', 'mmddyyy') from dual

Error message is coming:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string

Is it because the year taken is 8789 ?

Please suggest
The error is coming because of missing y in year format
It should be taken as
select to_date('02038789', 'mmddyyyy') from dual
 
i need to convert number into date foramt
i.e.
select to_date(1222423569369,'yyyyddmm') from dual;
You need to provide a valid date to convert it.

First of all, your number is too long for the mask you provide.
Second, there is no day 42 or month 23

I am using an ERP (front end oracle forms and back end oracle), and when i try to save a particular transaction the date format picture error occurs all of a sudden . This goes on for at least half an hour and then itself it starts working. One more thing I tried this on other systems by logging in with my username it is the same, but with other usernames there is no problem.

Kindly help?

6:30:00 PM','dd/mm/yyyy HH:mi:ss'),to_char('01/08/2009','dd/mm/yyyy
hh:mi:ss'
),1)

The date in bold is missing the time information. Either add the timing information, or remove the timing mask.

I have a stored procedure.  Two of whose parameters are of the Date datatype.  When I try to set these to parameters dates in the execute statement using the the standard Oracle date notation (DD-MMM-YYYY), '02-JAN-2009' I am getting this error. I am not explicitly calling the ToDate function or setting a custome date format.  However I keep getting this error.  Do not understand why.

It probably depends on the setting of NLS_DATE_FORMAT:

select * from nls_session_parameters where parameter='NLS_DATE_FORMAT'

PARAMETER            VALUE
-------------------- --------------------
NLS_DATE_FORMAT      DD-MON-RR

SQL> create procedure p(pdate date) is
  2  begin
  3    null;
  4  end;
  5  /

Procedure created.

SQL> exec p('01-JAN-2009')

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

 

SQL> alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MON-DD';

Session altered.

SQL>  exec p('01-JAN-2009')
BEGIN p('01-JAN-2009'); END;

               *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
ORA-06512: at line 1

 

SQL> select * from nls_session_parameters where parameter='NLS_DATE_FORMAT'
  2  /

PARAMETER                      VALUE
------------------------------ ----------------------------------------
NLS_DATE_FORMAT                DD-MON-RR

I am not clear what RR is supposed to mean.  How can I change that parameter for the instance.

Hoe to solve this issue??

Is there a custom trigger in place which does some processing and goes into exception?

The best way to analyze the problem is to enable sql tracing and execute the statement.

Analyzing the trace file will probably reveal the problem.

Check out this link in order to know how to enable trace.

Thanks for help.

I will try to enable the sql trace.

Will that be possible to provide any helpfull link for sqltrace.

You will need to use tkprof in order to generate a readable report of the trace file.

Search for "Oracle tkprof" on the internet will show some relevant links.

The issue has been fixed.

SQL Trace is really helpfull.

Its related to a trigger only.

Thanks 4 the help.

 

I have a problem with Oracle.

VALUES (Projektai_Vykdytojai_Nr.NEXTVAL,'Studentu apskaita','Maza','01/01/2005', 12)

Error report:

SQL Error: ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string


Try to use a date format:

VALUES (Projektai_Vykdytojai_Nr.NEXTVAL,'Studentu apskaita','Maza', to_date('01/01/2005', 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 12)


 

I am using siebel crm. Backend we have Oracle. I  need to update a column with date and time. When i give the update statement i am getting this error. Please let me know how we can update date and time and the format to update.

Either specify a format mask, or update the NLS_DATE_FORMAT string
