Oracle Date to Timestamp Conversion Guide

In Oracle, you can use the TO_TIMESTAMP function to convert dates to timestamps. Here is an example:

SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('2022-02-18 09:30:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') AS timestamp_value
FROM dual;

The query above converts the date string ‘2022-02-18 09:30:00’ into a timestamp format and displays the result as an alias timestamp_value.

To convert the current date to a timestamp, you can use the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function.

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AS timestamp_value
FROM dual;

The above query will convert the current date into a timestamp format and display the result as an alias called timestamp_value.
