Josh,  

sysdate has the granularity of a second only. You might want to add a new column for fractional seconds or change the column datatype to systimestamp;  

if you create new column, you can just add the fractional part as follows ...  

create or replace trigger ...
after insert into my_table ...
where ...
begin
  :new.frac_seconds := to_char(systimestamp,'FFF'); end;
/

The issue at hand is this:  

There is a column, setup_date that is populated by a trigger with sysdate after insert. Now the developers want to know if there is a way they can get the time of this date to a granularity of 10ths or 100ths of a second.  

If I insert sysdate, can I then extract the centisecond or decisecond of that date/time?  

Make sense?  

Thanks

if you are pre 9i you can get up to 100th of a second using dbms_utility.get_time().

in post 9i, you can use systimestamp which will give you a microsecond if you wish.

Hi,

Is there a way for me to get the time of a particular sysdate past the granularity of one second?

Thanks!

Josh
