Problem with to_date/to_char
Hi,
Can somebody tell me why this query don't work when I use to_date
Instead of to_char
By using to_char:
select
to_char(last_day(cast(current_date - interval '1 month' as date)),'DD.MM.YYYY')
;
Result: 31.08.2003
By using to_date:
select
to_date(last_day(cast(current_date - interval '1 month' as date)),'DD.MM.YYYY')
;
Result: 01.23.0037
What can I do that this query works correctly with to_date?
Thanxx

to_date() do conversion from 'string' to 'data' .... see docs.
