RE: DB2 date format

There is nothing wrong in asking questions?
If some one asks some question , its his need to know about that, how silly
it may be.
The same question which seems to be silly to you, wont be the same for the
other person
So dont get frustrated . You may be lucky to have got the exposure, but not
everyone is lucky as you.
The same person who asked the question , with in short span will be
aswering for such questions for some body else.

So hire me ......... I have taught classes from what I have
learned on the job .
Showing promise is such an arbitrary thing, Que Pasa Hombre ??

Getting smarter is far beyond just asking questions ....
And the other side of what and where ????

Guess I'll use DHL and BROWN for my delivery from now on, and encourage
all other to do so,
and when they 'come for you' there won't be anyone left to speak.
Do you know where that comes from ? Perhaps you should ask that quesiton
!!!!! :)

They get the jobs because they show promise, and they get smarter by
asking those kinds of questions. :)

I didn't even know what a TSO session or a CICS transaction when I
interviewed for my current position. My knowledge has grown by leaps and
bounds over the past few months because of people putting up with my
'noob' questions.

While the frustration is understandable and sometimes shared, I do hope
this doesn't discourage anyone from asking the questions they need to ask
to get the job done right.

Not trying to get on JAHuffman's case, just a perspective from the other
side.

Please understand, ths IS NOT to anyone person, but to the whole

community at LARGE !!!

How do the people that post so many of these questions, how are they able

to be in the

job in the first place ???? I see DBA and DBA wannabes post questions

about simple, default

DB2 and Oracle function usage and questions. I see UNIX admins and admin

wannabes post questions

about how to use vi ( The best editor EVER !! ), or show a listing of a

directory, or how to

ftp a file, use ssh, or a host of other items!! While I do appreciate

the feeble attempts at

various forms of humor ( Oh so hard to be kind here .... ) , the reality

is this is really no laughing

matter. Since the conitnuing trend is to totally debase and diminish

IT

( that used to be a very good career ) to folks who can't even use

complete words, sentences,

and thoughts, in any language !!!!!

Aye Carumba !,

DB2 date format

Is there a formatting function that will convert an ISO date format

(yyyy-mm-dd) column into USA in a SELECT statement without the pain of

manually parsing the DateColumn, etc?
