    Hi

    In Oracle table I have a field of type varchar2 contain date values of format MM/DD/YYYY

    I need to write sql query to return the dates in DD/MM/YYYY format. I tried Select TO_CHAR(myfield, 'DD/MM/YYYY') but it gives error since the field is of type varchar2 not datetime.

    ANy help

    it seems it works by doing the following

    To_CHAR(TO_DATE(myfield,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'DD/MM/YYYY'))
