Hi

I am using a db which is being updated on realtime basis. In my db I am using timetamp as datatype for few of the fields.Now I had observed that whenever a record comes which has a value fro that column greater than the current time then it takes long time to insert that record in to db.There is no constraint defined on that field.So my question is : Is there any limitation on timestamp datatype that it can't accept a value greater than the current time?

Thanks in advance....

It shouldn't make any difference. Do you have any constraints or triggers on the table. Is it happening on ANY insert, or only those with a timestamp in the future?

Thanks for your rely ......

There is no constraint or trigger defined on that particular coulmn.And its not happening on ANY insert it is partcularly for those records only for which I am getting the values in future date(may be 6 or 7 hrs ahead of current time) or sometimes for next date also.

Thanks

so with this info, you create a test case and prove or disprove. I mean , try to manually insert such a record in the db(i mean a record having similar characteristic) and check for yourself and post the findings.
