how to format a date in delphi

How should I write the following select in delphi:

select to_char(sysdate, 'dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss) from dual

When I try to execute it I receive an error, but this works:

select to_char(sysdate) from dual

Thanks in advance!

You might try going in to SQL*Plus and running the query that works so you can see what format Delphi seems to want.

Share and enjoy.

Missing single quote possibly at the end of your format string?

                                            *
select to_char(sysdate, 'dd.mm.yyyy hh:mm:ss') from dual 
                                            *
