Обсуждение: to_date confusion

I'm confused.  How do I get the integer 10102 to come in as the date
2002-01-01?

cmi=> select to_date('010102','MMDDYY'); to_date   
------------2002-01-01
(1 row)

cmi=> select to_char(10102,'000000');to_char 
--------- 010102
(1 row)

cmi=> select to_date(to_char(10102,'000000'),'MMDDYY'); to_date   
------------2010-01-10
(1 row)

TIA!

Richard,

Hmmm ... isn't this an old post, repeating?

Yep, my guess is that he sent it, wasn't on the list so it went for
approval, he joined and resent, and we're now getting the approved
version of it (given that I just received a bunch of messages
with dates about a week ago)
