I think you need FM: regression=# select to_date('January 12 2002','FMMonth dd yyyy'); to_date ------------ 2002-01-12 (1 row) Without that, the to_date scanner assumes it should be dealing with fixed-width fields. I think this is moderately broken myself, but maybe that's the way Oracle does it... regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
