SQL Developer is returning only the date, not the time. How do I fix this?

Can you try this?

Go to Tools> Preferences > Database > NLS and set the Date Format as MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS

To expand on some of the previous answers, I found that Oracle DATE objects behave different from Oracle TIMESTAMP objects. In particular, if you set your NLS_DATE_FORMAT to include fractional seconds, the entire time portion is omitted.

• Format "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS" works as expected, for DATE and TIMESTAMP
• Format "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SSXFF" displays just the date portion for DATE, works as expected for TIMESTAMP

My personal preference is to set DATE to "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS", and to set TIMESTAMP to "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SSXFF".

From Tools > Preferences > Database > NLS Parameter and set Date Format as

DD-MON-RR HH:MI:SS

Date format can also be set by using below query :-

alter SESSION set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'date_format'

e.g. : alter SESSION set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'
