comment Compare dates problems
What dates are you actually looking for in the resultset though? Please edit your answer and explain in plan English. In the above example, do you want '2013/05/16 23:59:59' to be included, for example?

comment NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT changing automatically and randomlly
When is it differing? Are you aware that tools/libraries are able to change it with an "alter session" and this may be happening in the background (depending on the tool), upon login for example.

That's why. It's a known problem. 32-bit Oracle XE isn't supported on 64-bit Windows.

Are you running 64-bit Windows perchance?

Your edit points to this ss64.com/nt/syntax-desktopheap.html - that may fix it. Is it also possible your app is leaking handles or something?

How odd. Is there anything in the database alert.log?

Why do you need Active Directory to act as a proxy for database connections? Doesn't make a great deal of sense.

What are you really asking? You want clients to use AD authentication? Connecting through AD makes no sense.

comment How to use CREATE TABLE … AS with Primary Key in SQLite
You can't do it with CTAS. If you want PKs etc, you'll have to pre-create, then insert. It's trivial to get the DDL for an existing table.

comment Efficient way to perform approximated search?
What's the cardinality of the evnt_sec column? How many evnt_sec per (id1,id2)? What indexes are already in place? Is such an approximate match likely to cause multiple rows returned because of its approximateness (not that it's a word :P )? (IE: Is the data per id1,id2 close together, as defined by evnt_sec?)
