    Hey there! Converting oracle date formats to milliseconds for accurate timestamping in cryptocurrency trading is a common requirement. One way to achieve this is by using the TO_TIMESTAMP function in Oracle. Here's an example: SELECT (TO_TIMESTAMP('2022-01-01 12:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') - TO_TIMESTAMP('1970-01-01 00:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')) * 1000 AS milliseconds FROM dual; This query will give you the number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (January 1, 1970) for the specified date and time in the oracle date format. You can then use this value for accurate timestamping in your cryptocurrency trading platform.
