Date Functions

The transformation language includes a group of date functions to round, truncate, or compare dates, extract one part of a date, or perform arithmetic on a date.

You can pass any value with a date datatype to any of the date functions. However, if you want to pass a string to a date function, you must first use the TO_DATE function to convert it to a transformation Date/Time datatype.

The transformation language includes the following date functions:

ADD_TO_DATE

DATE_COMPARE

DATE_DIFF

GET_DATE_PART

IS_DATE

LAST_DAY

MAKE_DATE_TIME

MAX

MIN

ROUND(Date)

SET_DATE_PART

SYSTIMESTAMP

TO_CHAR(Date)

TIME_RANGE

TRUNC(Date)

Several of the date functions include a format
argument. You must specify one of the transformation language format strings for this argument. Date format strings are not internationalized.

The Date/Time transformation datatype supports dates with precision to the nanosecond.
