I am using crystal reports to attempt to extract information from this
database but I need to know which records were last updated. I have
managed to find a field in Oracle and its value is based on a trigger
function as shown below
begin
select TIMESTAMP_SEQ.nextval into :new.NURS_TIMESTAMP from dual;
end;
This at 9.45am (UK) on 05/09/2003 generated a value of 5,048,868
My main expertise is in SQL Server, my question is can I reverse
engineer this value to calculate the time? Or is it like an identity
field in SQL server (i.e. An automatic incremental counter)
I would really appreciate any help or pointers to some good web
sources.
