Re: SQL Q: how to select current time?

From: m_van_basten_at_hotmail.com >>
Selecting SysDate from dual only gives the date. So how to select current time? <<

select to_char(sysdate,'format mask')
from sys.dual;

example:
to_char(sysdate,'YYYYDDD HH24:MI:SS') which would produce something like 1998200 19:00:20

See the SQL Manual for all the date mask formats.
