Oracle Clean Date Format

Posted on By David Kittell

Sometimes you have to pull a date from Oracle in a cleaner format, this is one way to achieve the format you want.

// Convert the Oracle date 19000101 to 01-01-1900
public string OracleCleanDate(string strDate)
	{
		if (strDate.Length == 8)
		{

			string strYear, strMonth, strDay;

			strYear = strDate.Substring(0, 4);
			strMonth = strDate.Substring(4, 2);
			strDay = strDate.Substring(6, 2);

			strDate = strMonth + "-" + strDay + "-" + strYear;
		}
		return strDate;
	}
