If you are on 9.2 and your application is using Oracle's thin jdbc drivers
to connect to the database, you might want to take a trip to Metalink and
check out bug# 3037615. There is a test case provided in the bug description
as well as possible workarounds.

Hi,

Are there any technical reasons not to go forth with timestamp instead of
date datatype? Are there any gotcha's by converting to timestamp? 

If an application doesn't use fractions of a second is there any real need
to use timestamp datatype?

Thanks,

Mark
