I'd do a to_date(stringdatecol, 'yyyy/mm/dd hh24') first of all, to make
sure the data is at least a valid date. Then you could to_char(validdate,
'yyyy'), to_char(validdate, 'mm') to pull out the information you're
interested in.

Subject: Oracle date format question
I have a varchar column with data in the format yyyy/mm/dd hh .
I need to pull the year and the month into separate fields so I can
select and group them.
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to do this?
Thanks!
