Thank you Andreas, I had thought about this solution but in my case, it is not really possible to do that... I am converting an Oracle database to PostgreSQL 8.2.0 via ora2pg which allows me to extract the tables, data, ... The timestamp extracted from Oracle have the format "DD-MON-YY HH.MI.SSXFF AM" and I am trying to import them in a TIMESTAMP(6) via a "COPY" command in PostgreSQL.

I tried to modify "lc_time" and others "lc_*" variables to import this format but I didn't find the good solution...

How can I import these dates without using the "replace" function ?

Any suggestions ?
Regards,
Alexandra

Hello List,

Is it possible to import in a TIMESTAMP(6) field a timestamp in which the format of hour is HH.MM.SS (and not HH:MM:SS) ? In the documentation, at http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-TIMEZONES, I didn't find this format. So can I think that it is not possible to import this kind of hour in PostgreSQL ? (I work with PostgreSQL 8.2.0).
Any workaround to do that ?

test=# select replace('2007-01-01 12.00.00', '.',':')::timestamp;
      replace
---------------------
2007-01-01 12:00:00
(1 row)
