Oracle使用DATE > 7个字节，其中前2个字节为:

Oracle stores DATEs in tables using 7 bytes where the first 2 bytes are:

• 世纪+ 100
• 世纪+ 100

• Century + 100
• Year of century + 100

因此(技术上)可以存储的最大日期是当这两个字节的值分别为 255 和 199 时，它们的年份为 15599(我忽略了理论上您可以在第二个字节中存储 255 ，因为这会打开一大堆单独的问题).

So the maximum date that can (technically) be stored is when those two bytes have the values 255 and 199 which would give the a year of 15599 (I'm ignoring that you could theoretically store 255 in the second byte as that opens up a whole heap of separate issues).

您可以使用 DBMS_STATS.CONVERT_RAW_VALUE 将原始值转换为日期.我们可以绕过创建日期的常规方法，直接生成将要存储的字节值.

You can convert a raw value to a date using the DBMS_STATS.CONVERT_RAW_VALUE which means we can bypass the normal methods of creating dates and directly generate the byte values which will be stored.

此函数是一个示例:

CREATE FUNCTION createDate(
  year   int,
  month  int,
  day    int,
  hour   int,
  minute int,
  second int
) RETURN DATE DETERMINISTIC
IS
  hex CHAR(14);
  d DATE;
BEGIN
  hex := TO_CHAR( FLOOR( year / 100 ) + 100, 'fm0X' )
      || TO_CHAR( MOD( year, 100 ) + 100, 'fm0X' )
      || TO_CHAR( month, 'fm0X' )
      || TO_CHAR( day, 'fm0X' )
      || TO_CHAR( hour + 1, 'fm0X' )
      || TO_CHAR( minute + 1, 'fm0X' )
      || TO_CHAR( second + 1, 'fm0X' );
  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE( hex );
  DBMS_STATS.CONVERT_RAW_VALUE( HEXTORAW( hex ), d );
  RETURN d;
END;
/

然后，如果您有日期列，则可以插入通常不允许插入的值:

Then if you have a date column you can insert values you are not normally allowed to insert:

CREATE TABLE table_name ( date_column DATE );

INSERT INTO table_name ( date_column )
VALUES ( DATE '2019-12-31' + INTERVAL '1:02:03' HOUR TO SECOND );

INSERT INTO table_name ( date_column ) VALUES ( createDate( 15599, 12, 31, 1, 2, 3 ) );

INSERT INTO table_name ( date_column ) VALUES ( createDate( 12017, 2, 21, 0, 0, 0 ) );

当年份超过日期的正常范围时，

TO_CHAR 不起作用.要获取存储在表中的值，可以使用 DUMP 获取包含字节值的字符串，也可以使用 EXTRACT 获取单个组件.

TO_CHAR does not work when the year exceeds the normal bounds of a date. To get the values stored in the table you can use DUMP to get a string containing the byte values or you can use EXTRACT to get the individual components.

SELECT DUMP( date_column ),
       TO_CHAR( date_column, 'YYYY-MM-DD' ) AS value,
       TO_CHAR( EXTRACT( YEAR FROM date_column ), 'fm00000' )
         || '-' || TO_CHAR( EXTRACT( MONTH  FROM date_column ), 'fm00' )
         || '-' || TO_CHAR( EXTRACT( DAY    FROM date_column ), 'fm00' )
         || ' ' || TO_CHAR( EXTRACT( HOUR   FROM CAST( date_column AS TIMESTAMP ) ), 'fm00' )
         || ':' || TO_CHAR( EXTRACT( MINUTE FROM CAST( date_column AS TIMESTAMP ) ), 'fm00' )
         || ':' || TO_CHAR( EXTRACT( SECOND FROM CAST( date_column AS TIMESTAMP ) ), 'fm00' )
         AS full_value
FROM table_name;

输出:

DUMP(DATE_COLUMN)                 | VALUE      | FULL_VALUE
