title: Timestamp conversion in Oracle for YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format
body: <p>I'm trying to insert records with <code>YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS</code> format into Oracle from Netezza, but I'm getting invalid date type. </p>
  
  <p>How can I accomplish this one?</p>
  
  <pre><code>CREATE TABLE AM_PROGRAM_TUNING_EVENT_TMP1
  (
      ST TIMESTAMP,
      ET TIMESTAMP,
      MAS_DIV_KEY INTEGER NOT NULL,
      SBSC_GUID_KEY INTEGER NOT NULL,
      STN_KEY INTEGER NOT NULL
   );
  
  
  INSERT INTO  AM_PROGRAM_TUNING_EVENT_TMP1 VALUES('2012-03-28 11:10:00','2012-03-28 11:30:00',1,3636815,151);
  </code></pre>
