I have exported out table information from an SQL DB in the format of insert statements. Many of the tables contain timestamp information the YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS format. Since there are hundreds of these statements it is not realistic for me to add the TO_DATE() statement with each date. I thought that altering the sessions NLS DATE format would resolve this issue, however I'm still getting an error about ORA-01843: not a valid month
.
The columns data type is TIMESTAMP
.
EXAMPLE:
ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
INSERT INTO gcGovernance (id, userID, grantAppID, grantAppUUID,
grantCommCatID, grantApprovalCmnt, grantApprovalDate) VALUES (758, 163,
408, 'iahfahfahashvai', 0, '', '2016-12-20
14:32:17');

If the receiving column is a TIMESTAMP, then you need to set NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT
, not NLS_DATE_FORMAT
.

You can try to use the format timestamp'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'
within that example insert
statement such as
timestamp'2016-12-20 14:32:17'
for grantApprovalDate
column.
