JDBC escape syntax for timestamp formats

Derby interprets the JDBC escape syntax for timestamp as equivalent to the correct SQL syntax for timestamps. Derby also supports the ISO format of 23 characters (17 digits, 3 dashes, and 3 decimal points).

Syntax

{ ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...' }

Equivalent to

TIMESTAMP('yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...')

The fractional portion of timestamp constants (.f...) can be omitted.

Example

VALUES {ts '1999-01-09 20:11:11.123455'}
