Hi,

I am trying to get the date format with timezone info in Oracle SQL.

The format I want the date to be displayed is given below:

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD (eg: 1997-07-16T19:20:30.45+01:00)

When I use to_char(sysdate,'YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss.sTZD'), it gives me the error saying incorrect format.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mani

SYSDATE returns DATE and Oracle DATEs do not store time zone information. Use SYSTEMISTAMP instead - it returns TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE. Also T is not a valid format element and should be enclosed in double quotes. Format element for fractional part of a second is ff, so it should be ss.ff, not as ss.s. Format element hh implies 12 hour clock and should be used together with AM or PM - I'll use 24 hour clock. To display himezone in hours and minutes use txh:tzm. And in general, RTFM - all this is clearly documented:

SQL> select  to_char(systimestamp,'YYYY-MM-DD"T"hh24:mi:ss.ffTZH:TZM')
  2    from  dual
  3  /

TO_CHAR(SYSTIMESTAMP,'YYYY-MM-DD"T"
-----------------------------------
2017-09-20T18:59:25.040000-04:00

SQL> 

SY.

SYSDATE contains NO timezone details

BTW - "mm" is MONTH in digits as in "09"
