I try to query a report to check user activity but I could not read date column. Is there a way to reformat the column to be readable? Date colum calls "time_stamp" as shown below.

SQL> desc user_activity_log

 Name                                      Null?    Type          

 ----------------------------------------- -------- --------------

 TIME_STAMP                                NOT NULL NUMBER(20)    

 NODE_NAME                                 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)  

 USER_NAME                                 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)  

 CLIENT_IP                                 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15)  

 DESCRIPTION                               NOT NULL VARCHAR2(2048)

SQL> select user_name,client_ip,node_name,time_stamp from user_activity_log

where user_name = 'admin'

order by time_stamp;

USER_NAME CLIENT_IP NODE_NAME TIME_STAMP

--------------- -------------------- ----------

admin                NA              Insight Server       1.0397E+12

admin                NA              Insight Server       1.0402E+12

admin                NA              Insight Server       1.0433E+12
