 date information.

For Period types, the specified format is associated with both the beginning and ending bounds of the period.
  • TIME

  • PERIOD(TIME)
 time information.

For Period types, the specified format is associated with both the beginning and ending bounds of the period.
  • TIMESTAMP
  • TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE

Date formatting characters must be grouped separately from time formatting characters.

For Period types, the specified format is associated with both the beginning and ending bounds of the period.

Formatting characters are case-insensitive.
