title: What Date Format Should I Send When Using Oracle.DataAcess
body: <p>Converting from usind Micorsofts Syste.Data.OracleClient to what I believe is called Oracles ODT (Oracle.DataAccess 10.2.0.100).  When I try and send a date I get this error "ORA-1858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".  This code worked great using System.Data.OracleClient.</p>
  
  <pre><code>cmd.Parameters.Add(New OracleParameter("I_FIRST_LOSS_EVENT_DATE", OracleDbType.Date)).Value = .LossEventsMessages(0).LossEventTime
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
