I know "date +%d-%m-%y" gives me 02-04-08, but how to easily get "02-Apr-08", i.e. the month has the three letter format. I need to use this "02-Apr-08" format to feed an Oracle database.

Thanks a lot!

man date

date +%d-%b-%y

I checked man, but didn't find the answer somehow :confused:

date +%d-%b-%y

This will do the trick
