esriFieldTypeDate field - Query Builder SFV 1.3

SusanMordy1 — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 19:06:45 GMT

My map service layer has several esriFieldTypeDate fields.

When I query in ArcMap, the format returned in Select by attriburtes is this: TO_DATE('2024-12-31 00:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')
as the data resides in Oracle SDE.

The actual records look like this: 01/12/1989

When I go to query these fields in the SFV 1.3 query builder, the returned format looks like this: 12/31/2020 12:00:00 AM
and I get an error message "query failed!'

Any ideas what need to be fixed/changed? I have attached a few graphics to illustrate my problem.

The AGREEMENT_END_DATE = TO_DATE('2019-12-31 00:00:00','YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') query works fine in ArcMap and the REST map service query layer function. Not sure why I get AGREEMENT_END_DATE = '12/31/2020 12:00:00 AM' when I use this field in the query builder (SFV 1.3) widget.

Thanks for your help,

Susan

Was this question ever resolved? I have a similar issue in SQL SDE.

I did not figure this out myself (ran out of time), but I have posted the response I received from ESRI techincal support regarding this issue. Hope this helps.

****************************************************

The Query Builder widget is essentially just a form, it has no idea what
the DBMS management system is. What you type into the Filter box is
just passed to the server as a request. The server then passes that
string to the DBMS. Thus that string, MUST match the syntax
requirements of the DBMS. I was only suggesting that you use ArcMap in
order to understand what the syntax requirements are for ORACLE.

What you really need is to add intermediate code that translates a
simple date entered by the user into what ORACLE needs. This will
require customization however. Here is a link that has some code to
help you get started.

On an aside, the the reason why your date of 12/31/2020 comes up as
12/31/2020 12:00:00 AM in ORACLE is because all Date field have a time
and 12:00:00 AM is the default time that ORACLE sets when none is
specified. The time portion of the date field is not seen by default in
ArcMap.
