Meaning of Oracle's dump(systimestamp) bytes
问题 I'm trying to understand what the bytes from the timestamp set on my DB mean. How do they get computed to generate the more readable date? I'm using the below query to get the data that I need: SELECT systimestamp ,DUMP (systimestamp) ,sessiontimezone FROM dual; And the output of my above query is: +-------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------+------------------+ | systimestamp | dump(systimestamp) | sessiontimezone | +---------------
