Cherie:

I am familiar with the DATE datatype. I am doing a database conversion from IMS to Oracle and have been given a spreadsheet of the tables/columns. Some of the columns are typed as DATETIME. It appears that these were not updated for Oracle from a previous conversion to SQL Server.

Thanks,

Ken,

The date datatype includes time up to seconds. The time is usually not displayed because of the way that you have your default date NLS_ variables formatted. If you want to display the time, you can.

                    Please respond

                    to ORACLE-L

Is there an Oracle datatype of DATETIME? I can only find DATE in my documentation.
