And everytime I get sql exception for below SQL

private static String insertSQL = "INSERT INTO USER_COPY (ID, CREATION_DATE, LAST_MODIFIED_DATE) VALUES ('123456789', TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-02-01 12:37:40.315'), TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-02-01 12:37:40.315'))";

unrecognized token '(' in values list, expecting ')'

Table Properties

ID is String

Anything wrong with my SQL?

    I wonder if perhaps it’s not your timestamp format? This worked for me using TO_TIMESTAMP:

    CREATE TABLE USER_COPY (ID int, CREATION_DATE TimeStamp, LAST_MODIFIED_DATE TimeStamp);

INSERT INTO USER_COPY (ID, CREATION_DATE, LAST_MODIFIED_DATE)
VALUES ('123456789',
        TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-02-01 12:37:40.315', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF'), 
        TO_TIMESTAMP('2013-02-01 12:37:40.315', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF')
        );

    And here is the SQL Fiddle.

    Good luck.
