does the date time data in Oracle store in long number? From the application interface, we enter data in format like '01/02/2001 10:30:00 PM' , when I run the query, I get the result in long number as '915134070' . When I compare it to SYSDATE ('SELECT * FROM Mytable WHERE entry_date < SYSDATE-60'), I get the error inconsistent data type. How can I compare the field 'entry_date' to the last 60 days? Thanks
