Oracle timestamp - milliseconds not stored

grizmi — Thu, 01 Feb 2018 10:09:33 GMT

Hi,

Discussion started on https://community.talend.com/t5/Design-and-Development/Load-DATE-type-into-an-Oracle-TIMESTAMP-column/td-p/99066 but I have the same issue and can't find a solution. Can't store the milliseconds in a timestamp target colum in Oracle, but when I store it in a varchar2 column I can see the milliseconds. So it looks like that the datatype "Date" with pattern "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" is losing the SSS part.

Talend version: 6.4.1

Oracle: 11gR2

Database Oracle_target

I select an Oracle timestamp source column but I convert into a string using SQL:

to_char(le.STARTTIME ,'yyyy-MM-dd HH24:MI:ss.FF3') AS SERVICE_STARTTIME

Example: '2017-12-13 15:25:16.656'

Input

In mapping I do the following:

mapping

mapping datatype

Target datatype

Target Adv settings

Result when running job:

Target Result

As you can see, when stored as a string I can see the milliseconds but when this is a timestamp it's lost. Any idea's on how to resolve this?

Some extra info, this is what I see in the code:

Found the reason, in target I must specify 'TIMESTAMP' as DB Type, by default you will have 'DATE'

timestamp

Working now
