Nobody knows why, but CURRENT_TIMESTAMP cannot return the ten-thousandths
of seconds which the Timestamp supports. It just wasn't implemented.

If you have a Windows server, you can use the GetExactTimestamp UDF in the
FBUDF.dll library. Here is the declaration:

declare external function getExactTimestamp
timestamp returns parameter 1
entry_point 'getExactTimestamp' module_name 'fbudf';

If your server is not on Windows, I guess you could get the source for this
UDF from Sourceforge and write the function for Linux. :(

>Even I specify 'select cast((CURRENT_TIMESTAMP+0.5/86400) as

And even this doesn't produce the ten-thousandths of seconds:

select cast (cast('now' as timestamp) as varchar(25)) as currtime
from rdb$database
