In PL\/SQL, the TO_CHAR function can be used to set the display format of a date. The syntax of the TO_CHAR function is as follows:<\/p>\n

Format the date value to a specific format.<\/p>\n

In this case, “date_value” is the date value to be formatted and “format” is the display format of the date.<\/p>\n

Here are some commonly used date display formats:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS: It displays the year, month, day, hour, minute, and second, such as 2022-01-01 12:30:00.<\/li>\n
  2. YYYY-MM-DD: Displays the year, month, and date, such as 2022-01-01.<\/li>\n
  3. Displaying the date, month, year, hours, minutes, and seconds as 01-JAN-2022 12:30:00.<\/li>\n
  4. MON DD, YYYY: Displays the month, date, and year, such as JAN 01, 2022.<\/li>\n
  5. HH24:MI:SS displays the hour, minutes, and seconds, such as 12:30:00.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Here are some examples:<\/p>\n

    DECLARE\r\n  my_date DATE := SYSDATE;\r\nBEGIN\r\n  -- \u663e\u793a\u5e74\u4efd\u3001\u6708\u4efd\u3001\u65e5\u671f\u3001\u5c0f\u65f6\u3001\u5206\u949f\u548c\u79d2\r\n  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(my_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'));\r\n\r\n  -- \u663e\u793a\u5e74\u4efd\u3001\u6708\u4efd\u548c\u65e5\u671f\r\n  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(my_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD'));\r\n\r\n  -- \u663e\u793a\u65e5\u671f\u3001\u6708\u4efd\u3001\u5e74\u4efd\u3001\u5c0f\u65f6\u3001\u5206\u949f\u548c\u79d2\r\n  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(my_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));\r\n\r\n  -- \u663e\u793a\u6708\u4efd\u3001\u65e5\u671f\u548c\u5e74\u4efd\r\n  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(my_date, 'MON DD, YYYY'));\r\n\r\n  -- \u663e\u793a\u5c0f\u65f6\u3001\u5206\u949f\u548c\u79d2\r\n  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(TO_CHAR(my_date, 'HH24:MI:SS'));\r\nEND;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
    Please note that the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE statement in the above example is used to output results in PL\/SQL. You can adjust the date format to suit your application as needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
