Problem with times with Oracle Query

Hey all. So I'm running this query in SQL developer on an Oracle DB.

"select TO_CHAR(sysdate,'HH:MM:SS') from dual"

The problem is, it's returning the hour correctly, but the minute is always 09. If it just keep running it, the seconds will tick up to 59, but the minute always stays at 09. When the hour rolls over, the hour goes to the next one. Example at 8:30, it returns 8:09:SS, at 9:45 it will return 9:09:SS ect.

Anyone know what's up with this behavior? I've done the query using SQL developer, and just doing straight java code with the same results.

Dude, the month is 09! Try mm.

Ahh yes. I love feeling stupid. Actually since it was Oracle (not sql) had to change it to MI. Thanks coder :)

Sure. I will be here all week.

mm is minute, MM is month. SS isn't seconds either, it's ss.

Yeah, MI is minute. SS(capital) actually does give you seconds. I usually to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS' though would be easier to just set that as the default then you never need to format to_char by hand.
