Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: TIMESTAMP datatype. Anyone using them?
... or alternatively, use timestamp literals:
select *
from mytable
where delete_timestamp >= timestamp '2005-08-01 08.00.00.00000'
and delete_timestamp <= timestamp '2005-08-01 08.01.00.00000';
this is slightly more readable, independent of NLS settings,
and you don't rely on Oracle for implicit datatype conversion.
kind regards,
Lex.

Yes, we are using them on 9.2.0.5 on AIX. What is the exact problem that you are having?
select *
from mytable
where delete_timestamp >= to_date('080120050800','mmddyyyyhh24mi')
and delete_timestamp <= to_date('080120050801','mmddyyyyhh24mi');

Subject: TIMESTAMP datatype. Anyone using them?
Is anyone using the TIMESTAMP datatype? We are thinking about using them but are having a problem with queries using the BETWEEN clause. If you are using them, how are you querying them for date ranges?
Thanks,
