Re: Timestamp precision on Windows 2k Server

Good morning,

do you store these values as well ..? We do have a lot of problem storing and reading timestamps from our Oracle 9 server. it looks like if all our problems are a result of the timestamp format but we do not find a valid time-format right now.

Any hints for us ..?!

Thanx a lot
