Re: DB2 numeric to date conversion

Some very interesting replies!

What is in the date table exactly?

Is there also anything simple to get back to numeric YYYYMMDD from the
date? At present I'm doing something like :
myDate = year(dateCol) * 10000 + month(dateCol) * 100 + day(dateCol)

Hello,

I came up with this in order to convert a 8,0 numeric field to a date that
seems to work. Format is YYYYMMDD so it would be a bit different for most
of you.
Can anyone suggest something to make it easier on the eye? Thanks!

select

date('0001-01-01') +
(int(myDate/10000) - 1) years +
(int(mod(myDate , 10000)/100) - 1) months +
(mod(mod(myDate , 10000), 100) - 1) days
