Question
How can I get Vertica function to_date('','format')
do output like this:
DDMonYYYY - 01/ABR/2012
and not like it does (01-04-2012
)?!
dbadmin=> select now();
now
--------------------------------
19/09/2012 11:03:48.284339 BRT
(1 row)
dbadmin=> show datestyle;
name | setting
-----------+----------
datestyle | SQL, DMY
(1 row)
Solution
Try this:
SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, 'DD/MON/YYYY');
OTHER TIPS
to_date() takes a string and converts it into a date object. The output you see returned is not formatted to the specified format. It is just an acknowledgement that the date object got created.
