Oracle String to Date “2013-10-15T20:12:56.24584+0100”

Question

I got a TIMESTAMP string, need to convert in Oracle to datetime, I try several format mask but fail, any idea?

to_timestamp(\'2013-10-15T20:12:56.24584+0100\',\'         


        

Answer 1

To get this right, you should:

1. Use TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ function.
2. Use FF format for fractional seconds instead of SSSSS.
3. Enclose the literal T in quotation marks like this: "T".

This works:

SELECT
  TO_TIMESTAMP_TZ('2013-10-15T20:12:56.24584+0100','YYYY-MM-DD"T"HH24:MI:SS.FFTZHTZM')
FROM dual;
