The issue is either a) Oracle's parser is not doing what you expect or b) the database field your inserting into isn't configured to to display your data properly. If the problem is 'a' you need to 'filter' the format of your time strings into something that Oracle can understand. Rick has already responded with a means of doing this. If the problem is because of 'b', you'll need to search through the Oracle SQL reference for something like "NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT". Cheers, -J --
