Hi all

One of the developers came to me. They are using a Genesys call logging system.

It has apparently stored a date time in a number field as the number of seconds since 1970 1 Jan 0:00

They need to know exactly what time this is.

I can not off hand remember that oracle got a conversion routine for this.

Anyone know of one, they prefer something already there compared to something that I write.

I was thinking figure out how many days the seconds represent, add this to the date of 1 Jan 1970. then figure out what time of day the remainder seconds are to determine the time of day ?

Ideas.

George
