Not quite the same as Oracle, it would seem. See if this helps.

You would, I assume, need to do an explicit date conversion in the SQL itself via some kind of TO_DATE() function. The implicit conversion it is being forced to do is failing.

As long as you're sure.

The "other logic" you're looking for has been discussed here many times. Unfortunately, you'll need to trawl through all of the "please search" posts to find them but the wheat is there amongst all of the chaff. :wink:

The issue with the "upsert" mechanism is that all columns that you need for the insert must also be used in the update. Typically there are columns that you do not want to change, such as the create date, and in order to do that you need to look up the current value and pass that along rat...

I'm curious. You say you have custom buildop stages (plural) from your old environment that are now in the new one. Do some of them 'generate' correctly and you only have an issue with some (or just this one) and the rest generate fine? Or do none of them generate? Seems like important information t...

Would handle a leading space or zero for the day and month segments.
