A look into the docs might help you:
In date-format SS means seconds as of the seconds 00-59 in a
minute.
S means seconds since midnight, thus 0 - 86399
Compiling the statement the longest part is recocnized first.
So:
SS give 06 in your first example.
gives 20, but twice: 2020

to_date('01/01/1970', 'MM/DD/') + time_stamp / 86400
is a DATE expression
formatting of DATE values is done with the TO_CHAR function (see SQL Reference Manual)
for example:
to_char (to_date('01/01/1970',
Title: RE: Date format is unreadable
It works better but it still does give correct output. I'd like to see hour,min,sec as well.
1 select user_name,node_name,to_date('01/01/1970
Ooops. Should have written
to_date('01/01/1970', 'MM/DD/') + TIME_STAMP / 86400
The timestamp is in seconds since 1/1/1970, while Oracle date arithmetic
is in days.
Sorry.

Title: RE: Date format is unreadable
David,
It's not a date column. Rather it's a number column that's reading as scientific notation. Some databases, like Access, actually store dates as numbers; however, AFAIK Oracle does not.
Those are some large numbers. 1.0397E+12
David,
I presume that your date is a Unix timestamp.
Try to see whether
to_date('01/01/1970', 'MM/DD/') + TIME_STAMP
yields something more meaningful to you ...

Use the /usr/sadm/bin/valdate command and
check the return status. Examples:
--GOOD DATE--
12322:oracle@e6500a> valdate -f "%e-%b-%Y"
1-jan-200112322:oracle@e6500a> echo $?0

Jared,
Thanks for the reply.
I am passing a hardcoded date.
I am not getting a date from the
"date" command in ksh.
What my ksh does is retrieves $1 and must check if the date format
is in DD-MON-YY eg. 02-FEB-01.
It uses the hardcoded date (passed in as argument 1) in the script.
If the date i
date +%d-%b-%Y
man date.
You may have to look at the man page on a system with more
recent documentation, such as linux. The man page on
Solaris is incomplete.

Mohammad,
This really depends on the front end tool you are using.
Is it Oracle Forms? You can probably use a trigger in the
form to allow your client to do this. I haven't programmed
Forms in awhile, and can't give detailed directions.

Mohammed,
Just off the top of my head, I don't think this will work unless you
bring the day, month and year in separately. At first glance I thought
perhaps if you took the length of the date string (less than 6 or more
than eight you've got an error), backed out the last four as the year -
so
set nls_date_format for the session to 'ddmm'.
In this case also he needs to enter date as '09091999' and not '991999'!
Evaluate the pros and cons before making such a change in live db.
