Hi



A small problem ... In my code in a pcc file I am using this method
convert_ora_to_unx() to convert the date from oracle date to unix
(seconds) . The problem I am facing is that this converts and returns
only the date and not the time of the date.



Hence say there are dates



2005-JUN-29,03:28

2005-JUN-29,02:40

2005-JUN-29,11:28



All these dates are converted to the same time in seconds. And when I
convert it back to oracle it shows the date as 2005-JUN-29 12:00 for all
the three dates.

Is there a method that'll convert the oracle to date to unix with the
time.



For check you can execute this SELECT
date_time_pkg.convert_ora_to_unx(date_time_pkg.convert_sysdate_to_gmt)
FROM dual;

This keeps returning the same time whereas the number of seconds should
be increasing as sys clock is still ticking :-)



Regards,

Ishdeep
