the possible solution.' | |
Check the source column to see in what format the data is stored. If the data is store in 'yy-mm-dd', then your select statement needs to be
select cast(doj as date format 'yy-mm-dd' ). If the data is in 'dd-mm-yy' Then your select statement needs to be select cast(doj as date format
'dd-mm-yy' ).
Teradata can insert value from one type of date column into another type by converting it internally. So all you have to do in your select
statement cast is to match the format your text column comes in.
