Returns TRUE if its VARIANT argument contains a DATE value.
IS_DATE and IS_DATE_VALUE are synonymous.
IS_DATE( <variant_expr> ) IS_DATE_VALUE( <variant_expr> )

Arguments¶variant_expr
An expression that evaluates to a value of type VARIANT.
Returns a BOOLEAN value or NULL.
Returns TRUE if the VARIANT value contains a DATE value. Otherwise, returns FALSE.
If the input is NULL, returns NULL without reporting an error.
Return all of the DATE values in a VARIANT column.
Note
The output format for date values is set using the DATE_OUTPUT_FORMAT parameter. The default setting is YYYY-MM-DD
.
Create and load a table with various date and time values in a VARIANT column:
CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE vardttm (v VARIANT);
Copy
INSERT INTO vardttm SELECT TO_VARIANT(TO_DATE('2024-02-24')); INSERT INTO vardttm SELECT TO_VARIANT(TO_TIME('20:57:01.123456789+07:00')); INSERT INTO vardttm SELECT TO_VARIANT(TO_TIMESTAMP('2023-02-24 12:00:00.456')); INSERT INTO vardttm SELECT TO_VARIANT(TO_TIMESTAMP_LTZ('2022-02-24 13:00:00.123 +01:00')); INSERT INTO vardttm SELECT TO_VARIANT(TO_TIMESTAMP_NTZ('2021-02-24 14:00:00.123 +01:00')); INSERT INTO vardttm SELECT TO_VARIANT(TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2020-02-24 15:00:00.123 +01:00'));
Copy
Use the TYPEOF function in a query to show the data types of the values stored in the VARIANT column v
:
SELECT v, TYPEOF(v) AS type FROM vardttm;
Copy
+---------------------------------+---------------+ | V | TYPE | |---------------------------------+---------------| | "2024-02-24" | DATE | | "20:57:01" | TIME | | "2023-02-24 12:00:00.456" | TIMESTAMP_NTZ | | "2022-02-24 04:00:00.123 -0800" | TIMESTAMP_LTZ | | "2021-02-24 14:00:00.123" | TIMESTAMP_NTZ | | "2020-02-24 15:00:00.123 +0100" | TIMESTAMP_TZ | +---------------------------------+---------------+
Show the DATE values in the data by using the IS_DATE function in a WHERE clause. Only the DATE value is returned in the output. The TIME and TIMESTAMP values aren’t returned.
SELECT v FROM vardttm WHERE IS_DATE(v);
Copy
+--------------+ | V | |--------------| | "2024-02-24" | +--------------+
