If I do something like this:
select sysdate as mydate from dual
in toad, it returns:
07/03/2006 11:23:05
If I then take this row and drop it into a report item (row["mydate"], it
shows
7-Mar-2006 00:00
In the data set, Im seting the type to
If I use the Property Editor to edit the data, and change the "format
dateTime" to say "07 March 2006 11:26:11 CET", then preview the report, it
shows:
07 March 2006 00:00 CET.
Im having the same problem going the other way, if my sql is something like:
select
created
from
myrecord
where
created between ? and ?
then pass in a 2 parameters which are formattted (using the custom format
string) to something like 07/03/06 01:01:01 and 07/03/06 23:59:59 I get no
rows back, but If I change it to 07/03/06 01:01:01 and 08/03/06 23:59:59 I
just get the rows back for the day of the 7th. I have tried lots of formats,
including the default ones.
So the time is getting truncated in input also.
Any ideas?
Birt.

Interestingly, in the "output columns" of the dataset, it shows the type as
"Date".
There seems to be no way to change this. I dont know if this is a java
scirpt Data object, a Java Date object or a birt Date object.
I have no filters, no aliases, no computed columns.
When I do "preview results" in the data set editor, it shows 00:00 for all
dates, even though I know tha these dates have proper times.

I am using trial and error to get a datetime into a report. E.g. using
something like the following:
select to_char(sysdate, 'DD/MM/YY HH24:MI:SS') as mydate from dual
When I do this, the dataa set preview shows the right date and time, ( I
guess its not doing anything with date objects), but in my report the
date/time string comes out blank.
Ive tried lots of formats, but as Birt hangs for nearly 10 minutes each time
I open the data set for editing, this is a long and tedious process which
will take days (and cost thousands of pounds).
Has anyone manged to get a date & time (including seconds) out of oracle
into a report?
What format is it expecting from the DB?
Is noone out there using brit for datetimes?
