you can use the query
SELECT SUBSTR(DATE_COL,3,4)||SUBSTR(DATE_COL,1,2) FROM TABLE
P.S: MMYYYY is not a valid date format .... |

what you are saying is that you have a CHAR column that contains a MMYYY formated value and you want to have the result be YYMMM.
Ashimer gave you a very workable solution to re-format your char data. |
