Question

I am using H2 DB in my Java application. I want to load a .csv file to a table. My .csv file contains a timestamp in format 07/16/2011 02:43:43 but the default timestamp format of H2 DB is 2005-12-31 23:59:59

so when I am using CSVREAD to load that .csv file to the DB, I am getting the following exception:

org.h2.jdbc.JdbcSQLException: Cannot parse "TIMESTAMP" constant "07/16/2011 02:43:43"; SQL statement:
-- row #2 ('CIRCLE', 'MSISDN', 'PORT_IN_DATE', 'OPERATOR', 'PRODUCT_TYPE', 'PORT_ID') [22007-163]

Answer 1

select convert(parseDateTime(DOB,'yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss'),timestamp) as NEWNAME
from CSVREAD('file.csv')

where file.csv has a column labelled DOB

And to insert into your table:

insert into YOURTABLE 
    (
     select convert(parseDateTime(DOB,'yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss'), timestamp)
     from CSVREAD('file.csv')
    )
