How to insert a timestamp in Oracle?

Question

I have an Oracle DB with a timestamp field in it. What is the correct SQL code to insert a timestamp into this field?

Answer 1

One can simply use

INSERT INTO MY_TABLE(MY_TIMESTAMP_FIELD)
VALUES (TIMESTAMP '2019-02-15 13:22:11.871+02:00');

This way you won't have to worry about date format string, just use default timestamp format.

Works with Oracle 11, have no idea if it does for earlier Oracle versions.
