dual;Regards Naveen -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 3:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi all One of the developers came to me. They are using a Genesys call logging system. It has apparently stored a date time in a number field as the number of seconds since 1970 1 Jan 0:00 They need to know exactly what time this is. I can not off hand remember that oracle got a conversion routine for this. Anyone know of one, they prefer something already there compared to something that I write. I was thinking figure out how many days the seconds represent, add this to the date of 1 Jan 1970. then figure out what time of day the remainder seconds are to determine the time of day ? Ideas.
