IssueWhen collecting a datetime object, you may get the the following error on one or more rows.
 
ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string

This happens most often when the source is a non-Oracle database (e. g., Microsoft SQL Server).
CauseThis is caused by a difference in the way that datetime objects are handled between Oracle and other database systems. When selecting a datetime column, be sure to use the DATE_FORMAT function to ensure correct datetime formatting.
To find the current datetime format in Oracle, use the following query:
SELECT * FROM T_SYSTEM_SETTINGS WHERE parameter ='DatabaseDateFormat'

You can convert to a proper datetime format using code similar to the following:
TO_CHAR(my_date_object, 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') AS my_date_object
