Hi,

I tried to change the format of the date while fetching it from the DB but, I'm unable to do so, it is oracle DB.

# execute the sql query
         my $sth1 = $dbh->prepare($sql1);
         my $sth2 = $dbh->prepare($sql2);
         $sth1->execute();
         $sth2->execute();
# write the data into worksheet
         my $row1=1;

         while(my @field=$sth1->fetchrow_array){
                my $col1=0;
                $field[8]=$priority{$field[8]};
                $field[7]=$priority{$field[7]};
                $field[33]=$statusyn{$field[33]};
                $field[17]=$status{$field[17]};
                $field[14]=$statusyn{$field[14]};
                $field[44]=$tkttype{$field[44]};
                $field[32]=$statusyn{$field[32]};
                my $arr_ref=\@field;
               # my $date = $arr_ref->[$datecol];
               # $date =~ s/ //;
                $worksheet1->write_row($row1,0,$arr_ref);
                $row1++;
        }

The date is one of the column in my expoerted data. And it is of the format "06-05-2018" but I need it to be '6-5-2018'.

How can I proceed to change the format to my desired format once after the code is fetched from DB?

Thanks,

JP
