Add milliseconds to date in SQL, not seconds

Question

I'm writing a procedure on the SAP HANA database (using SPS 07).

In this procedure I save the current timestamp in a variable:

vMyTimestamp := CURRENT_UTCTIMESTAMP;

I know from HANA's SQL and System Views Reference that there are currently 5 functions available to add an amount of time to a date:

• ADD_YEARS
• ADD_MONTHS
• ADD_DAYS
• ADD_WORKDAYS
• ADD_SECONDS

However, what I need is to add only a certain amount of milliseconds to a date, so for example if the current timestamp is something like 2014-04-10 09:11:45.0 I want to get 2014-04-10 09:11:45.1

Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks in advance.

You should be able to add the seconds as a fractional value (e.g., 0.1 seconds = 100 milliseconds). The following, adds 100 milliseconds to the given timestamp:

SELECT ADD_SECONDS (TO_TIMESTAMP('2014-04-10 09:11:45'), 0.1) FROM DUMMY
