Hello Friends,

I am not sure if this is the right forum to discuss OTL code related problems.
If not, then please advise in which forum can I post OTL code related queries.

I have a code which does not work if I pass an OTL date to the SQL and if the passed value is compared with another date but by using minus (-) sign.
It works fine if I use = sign.

In the database :-
CREATE TABLE TEST1(A NUMBER(9),B VARCHAR2(20), DATE1 DATE);

In the OTL code :-

otl_connect *db1::db1OtlConnect = NULL;

otl_datetime dt1;

dt1.year = 2019;
dt1.month = 11;
dt1.day = 10;

static std::string SQL1 =
  "  SELECT A,B,DATE1 "
  "    FROM TEST1 "
  "    WHERE TRUNC(:dDatetime<timestamp>) - TRUNC(DATE1) > 10 ";  /*****THIRD LINE IN SQL*****/

	TRYBLOCK
	{
		if (db1OtlConnect == NULL)
		{
			db1OtlConnect = JBLdbCxnManager::getConnection();  /* JBLdbCxnManager is an internal library of my company and works fine without any issues */
		}

		static otl_stream otlSelectModeStreamA(1, SQL1.c_str(), *db1OtlConnect);
		otlSelectModeStreamA << dt1;	
		
		while (!otlSelectModeStreamA.eof())
			{/* Process columns A,B, and DATE1*/}
	}
	catch (otl_exception& p)
	{
	/* print p */
	}

This gives me the error :-

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE

If 3rd line in SQL is replaced with :-

" TO_CHAR((:dDatetime<timestamp>) - TRUNC(DATE1)) > 10 "; 

then I get the error :-

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got DATE

If 3rd line in SQL is replaced with :-

"    WHERE TRUNC(:dDatetime<timestamp>) >= TRUNC(DATE1) ";

then it works fine.

Please help/advise.

Thanks.

I don't know OTL but here are some thought:

* does not this "otlSelectModeStreamA(1, SQL1.c_str()," mean the parameter is a string? In this case "TRUNC(:dDatetime<timestamp>)" implies an implicit conversion using the default date format.

* does not "otl_datetime" also contain hour, minute and second? what happen if you set all values and not juts year, month and date?

* you have a workaround so you can replace "TRUNC(:dDatetime<timestamp>) - TRUNC(DATE1) > 10" by "TRUNC(:dDatetime<timestamp>) > TRUNC(DATE1) + 10"
