Обсуждение: Date datatype

hi all,
Ca anyone send me an example how to update a date datatype?
for example   update table set birthdate = "200-01-01" doesnt work.

TIA
Pablo

Hi,
I think the problem is the double quote you use. Try a single quote e.g.:

update yourtable set birthdate='200-01-01' where ...

This man must be a very old one... :)

I tried it using timestamp not date, but I think it should work as well.

bye,

or,

# update table set birthdate = to_date('2000-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD');

I'm not sure which is better though I tend to do it this way.
