Oracle timestamps below seconds granularity
Date: 1998/02/19

We are trying to display the hundredths of a second value stored in
timestamps for certain records, but we are unable to find a format
model that will allow us to achieve this level of granularity.
Ideally, we want to see the entire date/time stamp in a format like
this:
02 FEB 1998 06:25:37.07
where the .07 is the hundredths of a second value in the timestamp.
We've checked the SQL and PL/SQL manuals and several third party texts
and are unable to find any information on this. It appears that Oracle
can store the timestamp with this granularity but cannot display the
partial seconds via any documented method.
This is a third-party application that we own and are trying to query
based on the timestamp. Altering the application is an undesirable
option at best.
It's difficult to believe that no one has ever done anything like this
before, especially in scientific applications.
