OK, it has been a long while since I've used Oracle, but from what I remember, the format of the date is *not* the one you are using. I believe it should look like this: yyyy-mm-dd or mm-dd-yyyy
I may be wrong about the format, but I remember originally having trouble with the dates when I used oracle for the first time.
