I have an application with existing data, that has Zero in the date column.
When I look at it from sqlplus I see:
00-DECEMB
when I use the dump function on this column, I Get:
Typ=12 Len=7: 100,100,0,0,1,1,1
I need to work with the existing data from .Net (no changes to the data,or the data structure or even existing sql statements)
How the hack do I read this value, or write it.
The db version varies, from 8 to 11.
Help would be appreciated
At the end of the day, there was no solution to my problem.
What I did was, whenever the business logic tried to enter a zero date, i changed it to 1/1/0001 and when ever i got 1/1/0001 or an exception from the db, I behaved in the business logic as if i got zero date.
