Oracle database query with %

Hi,

I am trying to extract the number of records from the database.
The query includes the date. The date in the database is for example 21/05/31 12:00:00, 6273847. That’s why I used the percent sign in my query like this ‘21/05/31%’. The result is 1 row count in the database. But when I do this query via uipath the result is 0. On other queries without the % sign counts lines correctly.

I checked how uipath processes this string and put this query in the message box.
The result is as it should be:
2021-05-31_12h31_11

Any suggestions? Please help.

I found a solution! :slight_smile: It wasn’t the percent sign problem. There was a problem with the date format. In the query directly in the Oracle databases, the date had to be in the format: '21/05/31% '. But directly in UiPath, the date had to be in the format: ‘31-MAY-21%’. I don’t know why it is, but it works.
