Hi
I'm trying to load a timestamp 2006-04-20 08:50:06,971 using a control file

so
table x
(timstamp date))

Data
2006-04-20 08:51:13,739
2006-04-20 08:51:39,532
2006-04-20 08:59:51,112
2006-04-20 09:00:04,327
2006-04-20 09:03:43,020
2006-04-20 09:15:40,099

and the controlfile has the following line,

timestamp DATE "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS" "TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(SUBSTR(:TIMESTAMP,1,19),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS
')"

but it returns ORA-01722: invalid number

thanking you all inadvance
