Using TO_DATE with SYSDATE is giving error.

inDiscoverAug 28 2013 — edited Aug 28 2013

I am executing below query in Oracle 11g.

select to_date(sysdate, 'DD-MON-YY') from dual.

But this query gets failed with below error. (Note that I am using Oracle SQL Developer verion 1.2.0)

ORA - 01830 : date format picture ends before converting

But the same query executed successfully in another versions of Oracle SQL Developer (1.1.3 and 3.1.07).

I am not understanding why it is behaving differently in different versions of Oracle SQL Developer editor. Is this a strange issue????????????

Any one have any idea or work around for this. Your help is well appreciated.
