I'm confused. How do I get the integer 10102 to come in as the date
2002-01-01?
cmi=> select to_date('010102','MMDDYY');
to_date
------------
2002-01-01
(1 row)
cmi=> select to_char(10102,'000000');
to_char
---------
010102
(1 row)
cmi=> select to_date(to_char(10102,'000000'),'MMDDYY');
to_date
------------
2010-01-10
(1 row)
TIA!

Note the leading space in the returned row. That is probably what is making
the difference. You probably want to use to_char(10102,'FM000000').

Yep, my guess is that he sent it, wasn't on the list so it went for
approval, he joined and resent, and we're now getting the approved
version of it (given that I just received a bunch of messages
with dates about a week ago)

Hmmm ... isn't this an old post, repeating?
