The GET_CPU_TIME function returns the CPU time in hundredths of a second from some arbitrary point in time.

Syntax

Authorization

EXECUTE privilege on the DBMS_UTILITY module.

Examples

Example 1: The following SELECT command retrieves the current CPU time.

SELECT DBMS_UTILITY.GET_CPU_TIME FROM DUAL;

get_cpu_time
-------------
          603

Example 2: Calculate the elapsed time by obtaining difference between two CPU time values.
