exist to handle input formats that cannot be converted by |
|
|
|
|
simple casting. These functions interpret input liberally, |
|
|
|
|
with minimal error checking. While they produce valid output, |
|
|
|
|
the conversion can yield unexpected results. For example, |
|
|
|
|
input to these functions is not restricted by normal ranges, |
|
|
|
|
thus <literal>to_date('20096040','YYYYMMDD')</literal> returns |
|
|
|
|
<literal>2014-01-17</literal> rather than causing an error. |
|
|
|
|
Casting does not have this behavior. |
