ERROR MESSAGE:

Can someone please help me resolving this issue. I am trying to insert date and time in this format 4/18/2013 3:57:47 PM to oracle DB.

Answer 1

To_date('4/18/2013 3:57:47 PM','MM/DD/YYYY HH12:MM:SS AM') should be rewritten to To_date('4/18/2013 3:57:47 PM','MM/DD/YYYY HH12:MI:SS AM'). Note the change from MM to MI.
