title: TO_DATE error in Oracle
body: <p>When I run this query:</p>
  
  <pre><code>SELECT * FROM tbl_person 
  WHERE to_date(date_create, 'dd/mm/yyyy') &lt; to_date('01/01/2010', 'dd/mm/yyyy')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I hit the following error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>To be clear, <code>date_create</code> field stored <code>SYSDATE</code> when I added into table. What I need is to retrieve data from <code>tbl_person</code> table starting from 01/01/2010 onward.</p>
