I created a table using this query CREATE TABLE Store (id number(11) primary key not null, opening_time timestamp CHECK (EXTRACT(HOUR FROM opening_time) > 8 || NUL
CREATE TABLE Store (id number(11) primary key not null, opening_time timestamp CHECK (EXTRACT(HOUR FROM opening_time) > 8 || NUL
insert into Store values(1, '04-APR-2012 13:35 PM');
This works for me.
