DBA_RECYCLEBIN DATATYPES...

Out of curiosity...
In 10.2 and 11.2, why are DROPTIME and CREATETIME in DBA_RECYCLEBIN VARCHAR2(19)'s instead of DATE or TIMESTAMP?  I don't know about previous versions of the RDBMS but I imagine they're the same...

Even the documentation refers to them as columns with timestamp information...

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_4046.htm#REFRN23342

CREATETIME     Timestamp for the creation of the object
DROPTIME         Timestamp for the dropping of the object


Inquiring minds want to know :-)

Thanks!
Rich
