1. char[9] is too short for displaying time. Default text representation
of time is:
08:06:05.474477
You can:
- use longer variable char[16]
- format your time to have 08:06:05 only using to_char(...)
- change your columns from "time" to "time(0)"
2. char[9] is also too short for date. Default text representation for
date (European format) is:
2003-10-27
You need char[11] for this.
