title: Date type in oracle does not include time values
body: <p>I have a PHP application using an Oracle XE database.</p>
  
  <p>Whenever I add a date the hours minutes, and seconds seem to get left out.</p>
  
  <p>Is there some special format, or type I should use to be able to store this? I have tried using to_date, and specifying the format I am using.</p>
  
  <p>Many thanks for any suggestions from this confused MySql dveloper.</p>
