what is the difference between implicit conversions and explicit conversions?..

Answer / johncenzer

In an explicit conversion you tell the database how to do
the converion
ex: Select *
from some_table t...
WHERE t.invoice_date='&&pDate'TO_DATE('&&pDate')

or with format
TO_DATE('&&pDate','DD-MON-YYYY')

An implicit conversion is done by the database itself

ex. Select *
from some_table t...
WHERE t.invoice_date='&&pDate'
Oracle will try to convert the pDate into a date.
