Dave's Technophorical Times

A blog about Microsoft's Technologies!
SharePoint :: MVC :: ASP.NET :: IIS :: SQL Server :: Visual Studio :: MS Access

By default, SQL Developer does not display the Time with the date for date columns when running a select statement.

You can change this in the Tools / Preferences dialog of SQL developer:

  1. Select Database / NLS Parameters in the tree view on the left.

  2. Then put dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss into the Date Format field.

  3. Press OK to close the dialog.

Enjoy!



This is how to query an Oracle database for Table and Column information. Obviously, you can change these statements to work for what you need.

SELECT  TABLE_NAME
FROM USER_TABLES
ORDER BY TABLE_NAME;


SELECT U.TABLE_NAME,
           U.COLUMN_NAME,
           U.DATA_TYPE
FROM USER_TAB_COLUMNS U
WHERE U.TABLE_NAME = '<Table Name>'
ORDER BY U.COLUMN_ID;



The Blogger

Dave Stuart I'm a Developer with a passion for coding. I enjoy the challengers that come with the job! SharePoint is one of my expert areas along with .NET Web Development with MVC and good old MS Access VBA coding. I Blog so that I can remember how I did that way back when; PLUS all this stuff is searchable! I constantly study and run my own business, Dafran Inc. I have passed 22 Microsoft Exams since 1998 when I first jumped on the treadmill of knowledge. I hope that you enjoy this Blog as much as I enjoy updating it. All the very best from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. contact me at linkedin @ dafran.ca
