12cR2 tightens up ORA-01841 for zero year ANSI dates, but not for Oracle SQL syntax

In moving some more code from an 11gR2 database to a 12cR2 database, I found another change where a piece of code that works in 11gR2 doesn’t compile in 12cR2.

In this instance a view was being created with a projected date column which used the ANSI DATE syntax. Here is a simplified test script:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test1 AS
SELECT date '0000-01-01' date_col
FROM dual
/
DROP VIEW test
/

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test2 AS
SELECT TO_DATE('0000-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD') date_col
FROM dual
/

Running this on 11gR2 gives:

SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test1 AS
  2  SELECT date '0000-01-01' date_col
  3  FROM   dual
  4  /

View created.

SQL>CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test2 AS
  2  SELECT TO_DATE('0000-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD') date_col

  4  /

View created.

Now running this on 12cR2 gives:

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test1 AS
  2  SELECT date '0000-01-01' date_col
  3  FROM   dual
  4  /
SELECT date '0000-01-01' date_col
            *
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0


SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test2 AS
  2  SELECT TO_DATE('0000-01-01','YYYY-MM-DD') date_col
  3  FROM   dual
  4  /

View created.

The date is zero and thus the error message is correct in 12cR2 for the ANSI DATE syntax.
