[OT] Oracle flame (was: Re: [Zope] Field type 'Date' in SQL r equest)

[Smith, Neil]

You are using the wrong quote characters.  In Oracle, double quotes are used
to define a case sensitive column name, so it is looking for a column called
08/08/1997 not the string.  Use single quotes and it will work.

However there are numerous other problems with your SQL.  I suspect you
really want:

select DATE_NAI_IND, COD_ETU 
from VUE_TRAV_EXT_RVM_RES
where TRUNC(DATE_NAI_IND)= TO_DATE('08/08/1997', 'dd/mm/yyyy')

I like Oracle error messages: they always hide the essential information...
