Question

in my c# programme i am requesting data from an oracle database and one field is the date abd time in this format – 12/09/2008 15:11:17 , is there anyway i can just return the date?

Is there also a way of ensuring its in british format, by modifying the sql to be dd/mm/yyyy

thanks

Answer 1

You could get the date part of the DateTime using C#, You could do

string date = MyDateTime.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");///let MyDateTime be your DateTime variable

If you want to do in Oracle, you can use to_char for example,

select to_char(sysdate, 'dd/MM/yyyy') From dual;
