Re: Computing Oracle date format from a date string

Date::Manip can read dates in many, many formats. This may be what you're after.

Yep, I threw together a quick script which might give you a starting point -- it should dump the dates out in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS' format. `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; $ENV{TZ} = 'EST5EDT'; use Date::Manip; my $gDate; while(<DATA>) { $gDate = ParseDate($_); print UnixDate($gDate,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),"\n"; } __DATA__ 2002-08-23 11:39:24.0 Fri Aug 23 12:14:04 2002` [download] Update: Your timezone may be different.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;

$ENV{TZ} = 'EST5EDT';

use Date::Manip;

my $gDate;

while(<DATA>)
{
  $gDate = ParseDate($_);
  print UnixDate($gDate,'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'),"\n";
}
