Re: Date Format in SQL

Don't know if it's my urldefense or what, but that "link" is all messed up and really difficult to actually decipher. If it's a link at all. It may take me a while.

Proofpoint is really messed up.

I think what Jim means is the Run SQL Scripts (RSS) function is not >really<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__partofRDi.ItisacomponentofAccessClientSolutions-28ACS-29whichisshippedwithandlinkedtoRDi-2Dsoit-27sperfectlyvalidtoaskthequestionintheWDSClist.-28ManyfolkwouldsimplyuseRSSdirectlyfromACS-2Dit-27squicker.-29However-2Clet-27sassumeyou-27reinitiatingRSSfromRDi-2C-28e.g.rightclickObjectsSubsystemandselectLaunchRunSQLScripts-29.AnACSpanelappears-2Cthenyou-27reprobablypromptedtologin.ThereaftertheRSSwindowappears.ThemenubarcontainstheusualFILE-2CEDIT-2CVIEWoptions-2DandimportantlytheCONNECTIONitem.ClickonthisandselectJDBCCONFIGURATION.EdittheJDBCconfigurationyouareusing-2C-28possiblythedefault-29.You-27llbepromptedwithafurtherwindow.SelecttheFORMATitemfromthemenubar.YoushouldfindthedateFormatthere.HTH-2CBrian.On10_12_202016-3A16-2CDuaneScottwrote-3A&d=DwICAg&c=euGZstcaTDllvimEN8b7jXrwqOf-v5A_CdpgnVfiiMM&r=LifWsbmXTz4aXbMMEwOi1aJ3sWD5nsP_QI4reJ8MbDM&m=PUjPzqP8cIrfqIX8pxkMYRttHW3qoR2ZF32LzypJzl4&s=TWxvQ-b131rAerEKAO-GhTS-3crxdCQDIBcbAXYdg7o&e=> Ok. Now I'm really lost, and it may be my version difference.

I'm on RDi version: 9.6.0.8 20200403_1723


Jim: you say it's not an RDi Question, but I'm not having this problem in interactive SQL, and I'm not trying this in anything BUT RDi. Again, my lack of knowledge of the inner workings and connectivity of things is hurting me right now, but I don't know any better at this time.

Jim and Robert: Both of you indicate the same steps, but I can't follow either of them as my RDi menu options do not say precisely what you are telling me. Are you saying in "Preferences" under the "Window" drop down menu item I should be able to find "SQL Scripts" or "Run SQL Scripts Connection"? I can find neither there, and I don't find either in the RDi drop down menus. Especially if I go anywhere near what you both indicate, which, bottom line, is the same thing.

I need a better road map. Sorry to appear so dense. I've only been working in RDi for 15 years, give or take a year or two. And almost exclusively for the past 5 years.
