The difference is between SYSDATE and SYSTIMESTAMP. SYSTIMESTAMP is a
TIMESTAMP and the extended format is available. SYSDATE does not contain
milliseconds or timezone information. If you change the column def of
saud_log to TIMESTAMP, then your select from saud_log will work as well.

Hi all,
Example of insert string
Insert into saud_log (sysdate(),'some text');
Commit;
I now want to retrieve the text in date/time order.
Since multiple insert can occur from the same package in a second I want
to fine tune it to milliseconds.
But the below query is complaining about ora-01821 date format not
recognised
select TO_CHAR(msg_date, 'HH24:MI:SS.FF4'), msg_desc from saud_log order
by msg_date desc;
but I can run=20
SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSTIMESTAMP, 'HH24:MI:SS.FF4') from dual;
ideas
George
