Oracle date format or month name
Hi all,
I've got an issue querying an Oracle table using a date parameter.

I am using an ODBC connection to the database (can't get Oracle adapter for 10g to work) so I don't think I can use the SQLORA commands, can I?

So what I am trying to do is to get the name portion of the month so I can query for a date such as '24-MAR-2007'. I have heard that this can be done using the HNAME function, but can;t seem to get this to work.

Any ideas or pointers?

Thanks

I think I can help you but how is your field defined in the master and what does your code look like?
