TO_DATE
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
Parse a string value to a SQL DATE type (represented by java.sql.Date) using a vendor specific formatting pattern.
The pattern is not translated by jOOQ for vendor agnosticity and may need to be adapted depending on the SQL dialect you're using.
SELECT TO_DATE('20200203', 'YYYYMMDD');
create.select(toDate("20200203", "YYYYMMDD")).fetch();
The result being
+------------+ | to_date | +------------+ | 2020-02-03 | +------------+
Dialect support
This example using jOOQ:
toDate("20200203", "YYYYMMDD")
Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:
-- ORACLE, POSTGRES, VERTICA
to_date('20200203', 'YYYYMMDD')
-- ACCESS, ASE, AURORA_MYSQL, AURORA_POSTGRES, COCKROACHDB, DB2, DERBY, FIREBIRD, H2, HANA, HSQLDB, INFORMIX, INGRES, MARIADB,
-- MEMSQL, MYSQL, REDSHIFT, SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLITE, SQLSERVER, SYBASE, TERADATA
