OGG Using Colmap and Datenow millisecond.....

Question

Hi
i have a problem.
i want to put the current time in target table column.
table column datatype
SQL> desc yyy
Name                                      Null?    Type
COL1                                               VARCHAR2(30)
COL2                                               VARCHAR2(30)
COL3                                               TIMESTAMP(6)
so i used the following parameter,
1)
MAP "GGS"."XXX"       ,      TARGET GGT.yyy      , colmap(col1=cola,col2=colb, col3=@date("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.ss", "yyyy-mm-dd hh:mi:ss.ss", @datenow() );
2)
MAP "GGS"."XXX"       ,      TARGET GGT.yyy      , colmap(col1=cola,col2=colb, col3=@datenow() );
the result of both two methods are as follows:
3          4          02-SEP-13 01.55.00.000000
4          5          02-SEP-13 01.56.53.000000
@datenow function does not get the millisecond value?
If I would like to express the value in milliseconds, what should i do?

Answer 1

Format the date so it includes the milliseconds. You are truncating it. If your col3 is a date data type, just use col3=@datenow() and not worry about the formatting. If you need fractional seconds (which would be FF, and DATE does not include that to begin with), use TIMESTAMP.
