Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Date format is unreadable
It works better but it still does give correct output. I'd like to see
hour,min,sec as well.

3 where user_name = 'admin'
4* order by time_stamp
SQL> / USER_NAME NODE_NAME TO_DATE('
admin Insight Server 01-MAY-19 admin Insight Server 11-MAY-03 admin Insight Server 11-NOV-01 admin Insight Server 24-DEC-13

Ooops. Should have written
to_date('01/01/1970', 'MM/DD/YYYY') + TIME_STAMP / 86400
The timestamp is in seconds since 1/1/1970, while Oracle date arithmetic is in days.
Sorry.
