An Oracle date is only down to the whole second, so you cannot store milliseconds in the date field. You would have to convert the date to some form of Julian value and store it as a number.

To add 20 seconds to an existing date, you just do the math. 1 second is 1 / (24 * 60 * 60) = .0000115 To add 20 seconds, you add .0000115 * 20.
