Need help in to_char function

998158Aug 16 2013 — edited Aug 16 2013

Hi All,

I'm using below sql query to get sysdate with time stamp.

select to_char(sysdate,'YYYYMMDD HH24:MM:SS') from dual

This gives me below result:  20130816 05:08:49

Strangely, when I keep on running the same query, I notice after 60 seconds are complete, time stamp starts with  20130816 05:08:01 again.

Am i missing something here..

Thanks in advance
