Just answering my own issue here…
Â
On the back-end I’m using Oracle web server and PL/SQL. When the post is sent to the server, the name/value pairs are received as an oracle array (owa_util.vc_arr). They are then looped through to get the names and values, and then saved to the DB. When the date field is encountered, it’s format must match that of what the database date field is expecting…in my case, the post is sending “2014-11-01”, but the database errors on converting this to a date without the proper format mask…in the end, it was as simple as having a to_date with a mask that matches…and some error checking.
