Usage

Specify a valid Oracle date format mask that matches the dates in your input.

Consider the following points regarding this parameter:

  • Use this parameter when your input was generated in another Oracle environment (or on a DBMS other than Oracle) that uses a different date format than the format of the date columns in your target tables. When you specify this parameter, the High-speed Apply Engine issues an ALTER SESSION SET statement to change the date format (the nls_date_format parameter).
  • For valid date format masks, consult the Oracle DBMS technical documentation.
