C# LINQ Oracle date Functions
- by user1079925
I am trying to generate a sql statement to be used in Oracle11g, using linq.
The problem arises when using dates:
The SQL generated by linq gives
SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE start_date > '24/11/2012 00:00:00' and end_date < '28/11/2012 00:00:00'
This causes an oracle error: ORA-01830 - date format picture ends before converting entire input string
Adding TO_DATE to the query fixes the ORA-01830, as it is converting the string to a oracle date whilst now knowing the date format.
SELECT *
FROM <table>
WHERE start_date > TO_DATE('24/11/2012 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') and end_date < TO_DATE('28/11/2012 00:00:00','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
So, is there a way to add TO_DATE to LINQ (for oracle)?
If not, please tell me how to work around this issue.
Thanks
