RE: Unreadable time_stamp format

Jared,

 

It is epochtime.  When I run your given SQL I got TO_DATE output is “24-NOV-03”.  Is it actual date translated from epochtime “1069716948959” ? 

 

How do I query to select only 100 records?

 

 

SQL> select to_date('01/01/1970','mm/dd/yyyy') + ( 1069716948959 / (24*60*60*100

0) ) from dual ;

 

TO_DATE('

---------

24-NOV-03

 

 

Thanks,
David

Try milliseconds from the epoch - 1/1/1970

select to_date('01/01/1970','mm/dd/yyyy') + ( 1069716948959 / (24*60*60*1000) ) from dual

You really need to know how the timestamp column is defined by your app.

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;
