 Thanks Ilmar for the details. I am trying to check what is different in the environment as Code/SQL is generated using 3rd Party application and so cannot change, It is working in a lower environment but failed in Perf testing. I can see that using timestamp or nls_timestamp_format, it is working but as code cannot be changed and so was trying to see what is impacting it Sanjay On Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at 12:22:02 PM EST, Ilmar Kerm <ilmar.kerm_at_gmail.com> wrote:  

 You pass the timestamp value as a string not as a timestamp, so it is subject to SESSION nls timestamp formatting rules.Never rely on "magic" implicit datatype conversions - you'll be subject to inconsistent behaviour like this.Instead of '2023-01-12 01:01:01.122' you can write timestamp'2023-01-12 01:01:01' or use to_timestamp() function. https://oracle-base.com/blog/2020/07/08/when-implicit-date-conversions-attack/ "Relying on an implicit conversion is *ALWAYS* a bug waiting to happen."
