DateFormat Property (OracleLoaderColumn)
Gets or sets date format of the OracleLoaderColumn.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property DateFormat As String
 

Property Value

The date format into which loaded data will be converted.
Remarks
Set DateFormat property to specify conversion mask for the column. OracleLoader uses DateFormat to convert string representation of date to it internal representation. If not set, the date format defaults to the date conversion mask set in the direct path context.

Format string must use Oracle datetime format model. For example, format string 'DD-MON-RR' will correspond to '27-OCT-89' date string representation.

Example

public void CreateOraLoaderColumn(OracleLoader loader)
{
  ...
  OracleLoaderColumn column = new OracleLoaderColumn("hiredate", OracleDbType.Date);
  column.DateFormat = "DD-MON-YYYY";
  ...
}
Public Sub CreateOraLoaderColumn(loader as OracleLoader)
  ...
  Dim column As OracleLoaderColumn = new OracleLoaderColumn("hiredate", OracleDbType.Date)
  column.DateFormat = "DD-MON-YYYY"
  ...
End Sub 'CreateOraLoaderColumn
