The following SQL changed the exam_date to yesterday's date, but the hours/minutes
are all the same value (equal to that when I ran the SQL). What I want is to randonize the hours/minutes values.

update study s
  set s.my_exam_date_time = sysdate -1
where
  s.my_study_id in
(
select
  s.my_study_id as Study_ID
from
  study s
where
  to_char(s.my_exam_date_time, 'YYYY-MM-DD') >= '2006-01-01'   and to_char(s.my_exam_date_time, 'YYYY-MM-DD') <= '2006-02-28' )
