converting sysdate to datetime format

I have sysdate:

    04-JUN-14

and I need to convert it to datetime:

    i.e.:   2014-06-04T01:00:02
    format: yyyy-mm-ddThh24:mi:ss

is this doable?

Solution

  • There is a little trick because of the T inside your format, so you have to cut it in two:

    with w as
(
  select sysdate d from dual
)
select to_char(w.d, 'yyyy-mm-dd') || 'T' || to_char(w.d, 'hh24:mi:ss')
from w;

    EDIT : A better way exists in a single call to to_char, as shown in this other SO post:

    select to_char(sysdate, 'yyyy-mm-dd"T"hh24:mi:ss') from dual;
