Question

I am using Oracle SQL Developer 3.0.03. I am trying to upload an Excel file to an Oracle data table. I am getting an error for the date. The column in the database is a timestamp and I don’t know what to put into the date format of the ‘Data Load Wizard’. If I use the following format I get ‘Insert failed for row 1 GDK-05016: duplicate month found.

dd-mom-yy hh.mm.ss

Any idea what the correct format should be?

In the db, the date column looks like this: 01-MAY-12 01.16.50.000000000PM

Answer 1

The code for minutes is mi not mm

(I assume mom is just a typo and is actually reading mon)

For a full list of all supported format models, please see the manual:
