The same goes to timestamp function. This is a new feature in Oracle
9i. By default it display system time with seconds precision to 6
decimal place. It can even be forced to display 9 places.
I can't imagine, how can I get this precision from ordinary server. I
encounter this while I attended Oracle 9i - New features fo developers
course. I have put a question, however the lecturer doesn't have a
faintest idea about it (among with almost any other things I dare to
ask).
So If someone can sher a light upon me, I'll be grateful. I did some
tests and using six places precision Oracle shows a full number,
however using nine decimal places precision I got only six numbers and
three zeros.
