select to_char(date, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss.ms') as char, date from (select timestamp'2008-01-30 15:06:21.560' as date) sub
"2008-01-30 15:06:21.560";"2008-01-30 15:06:21.56" Why does the timestamp field truncate the 0 but when I show the timestamp as a character in the default timestamp format, it does not truncate the trailing zero? These two fields should be consistent because they should be formatted the same way. I'm using versions 8.2.4 and 8.2.5 and both versions gave me the same results.
