Hi Koushik,

Your problem is because there is no FORMAT statement associated with the column in the volatile table, hence it is using the default.

A couple of solutions:

1) on the SQL that READS the volatile table (not the sql that creates it) use the format clause to force formatting as yu want (i.e. yyyy/mm/dd)

2) on the SQL that creates the volatile table set the format on that date column to be what you want. I think if you do this you have to code the CREATE separately from the INSERT (i.e. you can't use CREATE TABLE AS).

Cheers,

Dave
