Folks,
Anyone ever seen this: A developer executes the following code
in an Oracle 9i database (9.2.0.6)
create table test_date_drop_me (test_column timestamp default sysdate);
insert into test_date_drop_me values (sysdate);
select CASE WHEN systimestamp> t.test_column THEN 1 ELSE 0 END from
test_date_drop_me t;
He gets a 0 each time the final select statement is excecuted no matter
what the value in the table. In a 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.7 database we get
a 1. Any ideas???
