If you're running on 9i you can do something like this:
alter session set nls_date_format='dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss';
markis@PRACTICE>select numtodsinterval(0001,'SECOND')+trunc(sysdate)dt from
dual;
DT

markis@PRACTICE>select numtodsinterval('0050','SECOND')+trunc(sysdate)dt
from dual;
DT
--------------------
12-jul-2004 00:00:50
markis@PRACTICE>select numtodsinterval('0054','SECOND')+trunc(sysdate)dt
from dual;
DT

Subject: seconds from midnight into a date field?
I have a varchar field that I need to migrate to a date field. it is in
the form 'seconds from midnight' and looks like this
0001
0050
1054
I can't find a to_date function to translate that. do any exist?
