oracle systimestamp (sysdate) to milliseconds

Question

Could you provide implementation of stored function to get current systimestamp as milliseconds.
Something I can use like

select current_tim         


        

Answer 1

AFAIK, there is no direct way for achieving this (other than manually writing a long-winded SQL function).

Why do you need this specifically?

You could use a stored Java function and then use the System.getCurrentMillis() that Java provides to return you a value in Milliseconds from 1.1.1970 to now.
