Can I insert date into oracle using addnew and update?

[zensunni]

I like to use this method when inserting into a database:

Set Insert = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Insert.Open "test", objConn, 1, 3, 2
Insert.AddNew
Insert("FIRSTNAME") = "Joe"
Insert("LASTNAME") = "bob"
Insert("DATE_BORN") = "10/10/80"
Insert.Update
Insert.Close
t RSInsert = nothing

However, I don't know how to insert the date, seeing that it's an oracle database. I know it's looking for a specific date object. Does one exist in asp that is compatible with oracle?

The error message is this:

Provider error '80020005'

Type mismatch.

/<asp_script>.asp, line <line_#>

Thanks for any help

Hi zensunni
you should use vbscript function for data type conversion
w3schools
Try to insert date with

Insert("DATE_BORN") = cdate("10/10/80")

I've not tried this but what would happen if you were to wrap the Oracle date function to_date around the date you're trying to insert?

Ha, DrBunch,

I've tried this with no avail. This is why I went with the assumption that the record set is looking for an actual date object. But just to make sure we're talking about the same thing, this is what I did:

Insert("DATEBOR N") = "TO_DATE('1 1/11/08', 'mm/dd/08')"

Hello

Try using
Insert("DATE_BO RN") = to_date("10/10/80",'mm/dd/yy')

Thanks and regards,

after testing my code thats was posted is work fine please try to test this code without insert into table just print it

<%date1="11/10/80"
response.Write(cdate(date1))
response.Write(formatdatetime(date1,1))
%>

I think oracle date function to_date is only work with oracle insert statements
