Since it's a NUMBER datatype, try:

SQL> column time_stamp format 99999999999999999999

SQL> select user_name, time_stamp from USER_ACTIVITY_LOG;

I need to view time_stamp column in USER_ACTIVITY_LOG table but it displays unreadable format as shown below. Is there a way to decode it to be readable?

SQL> desc USER_ACTIVITY_LOG

Name                                      Null?    Type

----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

TIME_STAMP                              NOT NULL NUMBER(20)

NODE_NAME                               NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)

USER_NAME                                NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)

CLIENT_IP                                    NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15)

DESCRIPTION                              NOT NULL VARCHAR2(2048)

SQL>select user_name, time_stamp from USER_ACTIVITY_LOG;
