TO_TIMESTAMP

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition

Parse a string value to a SQL TIMESTAMP type (represented by java.sql.Timestamp) using a vendor specific formatting pattern.

The pattern is not translated by jOOQ for vendor agnosticity and may need to be adapted depending on the SQL dialect you're using.

SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('20200203153045', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS');

create.select(toTimestamp("20200203153045", "YYYYMMDDHH24MISS")).fetch();

The result being

+---------------------+
| to_timestamp        |
+---------------------+
| 2020-02-03 15:30:45 |
+---------------------+

Dialect support

This example using jOOQ:

toTimestamp("20200203153045", "YYYYMMDDHH24MISS")

Translates to the following dialect specific expressions:

-- ORACLE, POSTGRES, VERTICA
to_timestamp('20200203153045', 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS')

-- ACCESS, ASE, AURORA_MYSQL, AURORA_POSTGRES, BIGQUERY, COCKROACHDB, DB2, DERBY, EXASOL, FIREBIRD, H2, HANA, HSQLDB, IGNITE, 
-- INFORMIX, MARIADB, MEMSQL, MYSQL, REDSHIFT, SNOWFLAKE, SQLDATAWAREHOUSE, SQLITE, SQLSERVER, SYBASE, TERADATA
/* UNSUPPORTED */

(These are currently generated with jOOQ 3.15, see #10141)
