Hi,

I have installed Splunk Db-connect & connected to my Oracle DB when i do a select statement I'm getting numbers(not in standard format example # # # # # # # # # #.# # #) instead of the Date that is stored in DB

In my DB the Date is stored as 01-APR-14.

Any Help is Appreciated,

Thanks.

Based on your 10.3 digits I'm going to guess that you're getting an epoch timestamp with millisecond granularity.

You could format the date in the SQL query as needed, or use Splunk's SPL to format the date at the end like this: ... | fieldformat date_field=strftime(date_field, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")

What's the column's data type in your Oracle DB?
