I need to debug in pl/sql to figure times of procedures, I want to use: SELECT systimestamp FROM dual INTO time_db; DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('time before procedure ' || time_db); but I don't understand where the output goes to and how can I redirect it to a log file that will contain all the data I want to collect? DBMS_OUTPUT is not the best tool to debug, since most environments don't use it natively. If you want to capture the output of DBMS_OUTPUT however, you would simply use the DBMS_OUTPUT.get_line procedure. Here is a small example: SQL> create directory tmp as '/tmp/'; Directory created

I have one db setup in a test machine and second in production machine. When I run: select to_number('100,12') from dual Then it gives error in test machine. However, this statement works quite fine in production machine. Now, when I check for NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS then I see ',' (comma) in both machine. Is there anywhere else I should be looking for the decimal setting? Cheers! You can see your current session settings by querying nls_session_parameters : select value from nls_session_parameters where parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS'; VALUE ---------------------------------------- .,

I have this as a result of the query: select cast(to_date(a.start_time,'mm/dd/yyyy hh:mi:ss pm') as timestamp) date_of_call, ora_rowscn from calling_table a where rownum <= 10; DATE_OF_CALLING ORA_ROWSCN 26-JUL-13 12.29.28.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.35.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.35.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.38.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.44.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.47.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.48.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.48.000000000 PM 8347567733892 26-JUL-13 12.29.48.000000000
