Answer Posted / nasa
Hello it is possible...
IN ORACLE:----
Datatype is int or varchar... so first convert into date by using date function
Eg: to_date('20040105','yyyymmdd');
By using to_char() use can extract which format you want or which particular thing you want.. ex: month, year, date, time...
Eg: select to_char(to_date('20030503','yyyymmdd'),'DD Mon Yyyy') from dual;
here answer: 03 May 2003
IF you want this feature in Cognos use extract().
