timestamp format in 12c
We have a query below:
select to_char(EVENT_TIMESTAMP,'M
DATE
--------------------------
01/25/2015 10:19:29.72538532534562537
02/27/2015 11:17:17.03419602719103715
My question is what was got is not what was wanted. I expected 01/25/2015 10:19:29.725385 for 1st record, but it gave me 01/25/2015 10:19:29.72538532534562537
1. How can I get what I want?
2. Does the many digits after decimal point mean a high precision of fraction of a second?
Please can any gurus shed some light on it?
