Excel Date Field Import Problem in Oracle SQL Developer?

You likely need to change your SQL Developer settings.

You likely need to change your SQL Developer settings. Tools->Preferences->Database->NLS Modify the Timestamp Format field to conform to the data format in your Excel spreadsheet. Not how it appears in the first database, but what it looks like in your spreadsheet.

For example, in my instance, the data in Excel was: ID DT 1 05/19/2011 10:16 PM I changed the format in preferences to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI AM and was able to import successfully, after initially getting the same error you reported before changing preferences. You may want to change the way your data is imported into Excel originally if you need more precision from your time values.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
