RE: time/date granularity

Title: RE: time/date granularity

The issue at hand is this:

 

There is a column, setup_date that is populated by a trigger with sysdate after insert. Now the developers want to know if there is a way they can get the time of this date to a granularity of 10ths or 100ths of a second.

 

If I insert sysdate, can I then extract the centisecond or decisecond of that date/time?

 

Make sense?

 

Thanks

if you are pre 9i you can get up to 100th of a second using dbms_utility.get_time().

in post 9i, you can use systimestamp which will give you a microsecond if you wish.

Hi,

Is there a way for me to get the time of a particular sysdate past the
granularity of one second?

Thanks!
