Hello,
I don't know if this is the right list, since I have a feeling that this
post is more a bug report than a support question. Anyway...
It seems to me that the following query (dialect 3)
select extract(second from current_timestamp) from rdb$database
will always return a whole number (milliseconds = 0).
I have done a bit of tests, and it resulted that 'NOW' and
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP will never return the correct number of milliseconds,
whereas
select extract(second from cast('12/12/2000 08.09.10.11' as timestamp))
from rdb$database
will return 10.1100 as expected.
This happens on a W2k box.
I would like to know if this is a bug or works as designed.
Is it impossible to convey milliseconds information in all platforms?
