TIMESTAMP Class


The TIMESTAMP class provides conversions between the Oracle Date (ldx_t) data type and Java classes java.sql.Date, java.sql.Time, java.sql.Timestamp

The internal data for this object is stored as a eleven byte array in the super class' storage area. The bytes are arranged as follows: 

Byte       Represents
0         Century (119 for 1990)
1         Decade  (190 for 1990)
2         Month
3         Day      
4         Hour
5         Minute
6         Seconds
7         Nanoseconds
8         Nanoseconds
9         Nanoseconds
10        Nanoseconds

Static methods are used for conversions.
