Re: Time Input with format HH.MM.SS

Thank you Andreas, I had thought about this solution but in my case, it
is not really possible to do that...
I am converting an Oracle database to PostgreSQL 8.2.0 via ora2pg which
allows me to extract the tables, data, ...
The timestamp extracted from Oracle have the format "DD-MON-YY
HH.MI.SSXFF AM" and I am trying to import them in a TIMESTAMP(6) via a
"COPY" command in PostgreSQL.

I tried to modify "lc_time" and others "lc_*" variables to import this
format but I didn't find the good solution...

How can I import these dates without using the "replace" function ?

Any suggestions ?
Regards,
Alexandra
