The problem is psql doesn't understand/recognise the timestamp format
being used in the CSV dump from Oracle.

Modify the SQL used to extract the data from Oracle so that it formats
the timestamp as a string which psql can parse into a timestamp type -
for example ISO or any of the psql timestamp formats (see psql manual).
