Syntax to see date and time

select to_char(<column name>,'dd-mon-yyyy hh:mm:ss') from
;

Eg.
select to_char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy hh:mm:ss') from dual;

You could also do the following, so you wouldn't have to wrap your date selects everytime.

SQL> ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mon-yyyy hh:mi:ss';

Session altered.

SQL> select sysdate from dual;

SYSDATE
