how to insert a timestamp value

_AZ_Aug 1 2017 — edited Aug 2 2017

Hello,

how do i preserve the miliseconds information from the char type value in the "insert" statement?

Code:

create table abc ( ts timestamp )

insert into abc values( cast ( to_date( :ts,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS.FF') as timestamp) )

where ts can have from 2 to 6 positions after  "seconds" - e.g.  ='2017/08/01 14:53:20.573612' or '2017/08/01 14:53:20.57'

As expected the "insert" is chopping off the microseconds information. something i want to preserve very much ....

thank you
