title: Can't get DATE format in Oracle
body: <p>I have database in access with a text field '1000306' - it is reporting date. I created table:</p>
  
  <pre><code>create table TT
  (
  DT VARCHAR2(20)
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I loaded data by sql loader.</p>
  
  <p>How can I get date from it? Should I convert varchar2 to DATE in Oracle? Or should I do it before loading data?</p>
  
  <p>I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>create table TT
  (
  DT DATE
  );
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but it didnt load any data.</p>
