Re: HANA date format

Hi Pallavi,

Since the data in the table is of NVARCHAR datatype, the TO_CHAR function would fail.

It issue can be resolved in the below following way:

create table date_test(col1 nvarchar(10));

insert into date_test values('2015-10-09');

select to_char(to_date(col1, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'YYYYMMDD')

from date_test;

You need to use to_char(to_date(col1, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), 'YYYYMMDD')

Regards,
