So I am trying to insert multiples rows of data from one table to another. I have done this; however, I am having an issue with some of my columns, specifically my date columns. When the query returns data it is missing the time component of the date which is normally present. If this doesn’t make sense hopefully the follow helps things to make sense.

My original query

SELECT 'insert into dante2 (subcar, batch_id, silicon, temperature, sulphur, manganese, phosphorus, start_pour, end_pour, sched_cast_date) values(',    SUBCAR,',',BBP.BATCH_ID   ,',',   SILICON                 ,',',TEMPERATURE                   ,',',   SULPHUR                 ,',',   MANGANESE                  ,',',   pHOSPHORUS                  ,',''',START_POUR      ,''',''',    END_POUR,''',''',SCHED_CAST_DATE              ,''');'
FROM  bof_chem_sample bcs, bof_batch_pour bbp, bof_celox_sample bofcs 
WHERE bcs.SAMPLE_CODE= to_char('D1')
and bofcs.sample_code=bcs.sample_code
and bofcs.batch_id=bcs.batch_id
and bcs.batch_id = bbp.batch_id
and bofcs.temperature>0
AND bbp.START_POUR>=to_date('01-JAN-11')
order by bbp.start_pour

Results of the query:

insert into dante2 (subcar, batch_id, silicon, temperature, sulphur, manganese, phosphorus, start_pour, end_pour, sched_cast_date) 
  values( 101,65277 ,0.6631,2525 ,0.0551,0.3366,0.043,'01-JAN-11','01-JAN-11','31-DEC-10'); 
insert into dante2 (subcar, batch_id, silicon, temperature, sulphur, manganese, phosphorus, start_pour, end_pour, sched_cast_date) 
  values( 123,65277 ,0.6631,2525 ,0.0551,0.3366,0.043,'01-JAN-11','01-JAN-11','31-DEC-10'); 
insert into dante2 (subcar, batch_id, silicon, temperature, sulphur, manganese, phosphorus, start_pour, end_pour, sched_cast_date) 
  values( 123,65278 ,0.7116,2470 ,0.0598,0.333,0.0423,'01-JAN-11','01-JAN-11','31-DEC-10'); 
insert into dante2 (subcar, batch_id, silicon, temperature, sulphur, manganese, phosphorus, start_pour, end_pour, sched_cast_date) 
  values( 116,65278 ,0.7116,2470 ,0.0598,0.333,0.0423,'01-JAN-11','01-JAN-11','31-DEC-10');

However, I want the dates to look like dd-mon-yy hh24:mi.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Two options:

    1) If you have alter session privilege, change the NLS_DATE_FORMAT before running the SELECT statement as given below:

    ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI';

    2) If you don’t have ALTER session privilege then apply the transformation for each date field as given below (the stmnt below shows it for START_POUR)

    'TO_DATE(''' || TO_CHAR(START_POUR, 'DD-MON-RR HH24:MI') || ''', ''DD-MON-RR HH24:MI'')'
