Hello Group,
Need an explanation for the following occurrence.
We have a large script doing approximately 2000 updates.
Within this script there is a update of a date column with a date such
as '8-SEP-2004'
i.e.
update pm set pm15 = 'Y',pm1 = 'EMTR-C',crewid = 'CREW06',supervisor =
'6113603',pm4 = 'A',pmcounter = '2',pm13 = 'MON',firstdate =
'8-NOV-2004',nextdate = '8-NOV-2004' where pmnum = 'L1050216';
update pm set pm15 = 'Y',pm1 = 'EMTR-C',crewid = 'CREW06',supervisor =
'6113603',pm4 = 'A',pmcounter = '2',pm13 = 'MON',firstdate =
'8-NOV-2004',nextdate = '8-NOV-2004' where pmnum = 'L1050217';
update pm set pm15 = 'Y',pm1 = 'EMTR-C',crewid = 'CREW06',supervisor =
'6113603',pm4 = 'A',pmcounter = '3',pm13 = 'MON',firstdate =
'11-OCT-2004',nextdate = '11-OCT-2004' where pmnum = 'L1052951';
update pm set pm15 = 'Y',pm1 = 'EMTR-C',crewid = 'CREW06',supervisor =
'6113603',pm4 = 'A',pmcounter = '2',pm13 = 'MON',firstdate =
'20-SEP-2004',nextdate = '20-SEP-2004' where pmnum = 'L1052952';
update pm set pm15 = 'Y',pm1 = 'EMTR-C',crewid = 'CREW06',supervisor =
'6113603',pm4 = 'A',pmcounter = '2',pm13 = 'MON',firstdate =
'20-SEP-2004',nextdate = '20-SEP-2004' where pmnum = 'L1052953';
Once this script has been run, column firstdate will be updated to an
arbitrary date like 20-SEP-2004 instead of 8-NOV-2004. Dates of more
than two characters seem to work OK, ie '11-SEP-2004'.
I have tried alter session and setting nvl_date_format = 'DD-MON-YYYY'.
Same thing.
A single row update, as in highlight one row and then execute works
fine.
Run this script in different front ends including toad. Same thing.
I have tried placing a commit after each line same issue.
I have studied the triggers and procedures for some clue nothing, there
is no reversing code.
Has anyone experienced this before? Any explanations?
Is there something else I can try to debug this issue that I have not
tried?
Many Thanks
Denham
