  2. Orders of magnitude (time) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orders_of_magnitude_(time)

    More exactly, the mean solar day is 86.400 002 ks due to tidal braking, and increasing at the rate of approximately 2 ms/century; to correct for this time standards like UTC use leap seconds with the interval described as "a day" on them being most often 86.4 ks exactly by definition but occasionally one second more or less so that every day ...

  3. Millisecond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millisecond

    A millisecond (from milli-and second; symbol: ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units equal to one thousandth (0.001 or 10 −3 or 1 / 1000) of a second [1] [2] or 1000 microseconds. A millisecond is to one second, as one second is to approximately 16.67 minutes.

  4. Unit of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    One trillionth of a second. nanosecond: 10 −9 s: One billionth of a second. Time for molecules to fluoresce. shake: 10 −8 s: 10 nanoseconds, also a casual term for a short period of time. microsecond: 10 −6 s: One millionth of a second. Symbol is μs millisecond: 10 −3 s: One thousandth of a second. Shortest time unit used on ...

  5. PL/SQL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PL/SQL

    There is no DATETIME type. And there is a TIME type. But there is no TIMESTAMP type that can contain fine-grained timestamp up to millisecond or nanosecond. The TO_DATE function can be used to convert strings to date values. The function converts the first quoted string into a date, using as a definition the second quoted string, for example:

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL:2011

    SQL:2011 or ISO/IEC 9075:2011 (under the general title "Information technology – Database languages – SQL") is the seventh revision of the ISO (1987) and ANSI (1986) standard for the SQL database query language. It was formally adopted in December 2011. [1] The standard consists of 9 parts which are described in detail in SQL.

  7. Metric time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metric_time

    Metric time is the measure of time intervals using the metric system.The modern SI system defines the second as the base unit of time, and forms multiples and submultiples with metric prefixes such as kiloseconds and milliseconds.

  8. Epoch (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoch_(computing)

    Software timekeeping systems vary widely in the resolution of time measurement; some systems may use time units as large as a day, while others may use nanoseconds.For example, for an epoch date of midnight UTC (00:00) on 1 January 1900, and a time unit of a second, the time of the midnight (24:00) between 1 January 1900 and 2 January 1900 is represented by the number 86400, the number of ...

  9. Transmission time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_time

    The round-trip time or ping time is the time from the start of the transmission from the sending node until a response (for example an ACK packet or ping ICMP response) is received at the same node. It is affected by packet delivery time as well as the data processing delay , which depends on the load on the responding node.
