As reported by my friend:
Oracle 8.1.7 (ver.9 behaves the same way):
--- cut ---
SQL> SET TRANSACTION READ WRITE;
Transaction set.
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM
-------------------
02-10-2002 10:04:19
SQL> -- wait a lot
SQL> SELECT TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;
TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM
-------------------
02-10-2002 10:04:27
SQL> COMMIT;
Commit complete.
