insert into tablename  timestamp value  values  TO TIMESTAMP  ts val   YYYY-MM-DD HH24 MI SS       if you want the current time stamp to be inserted then   insert into tablename  timestamp value  values  CURRENT TIMESTAMP

One can simply use  INSERT INTO MY TABLE MY TIMESTAMP FIELD  VALUES  TIMESTAMP  2019-02-15 13 22 11 871 02 00      This way you won t have to worry about date format string  just use default timestamp format   Works with Oracle 11  have no idea if it does for earlier Oracle versions

First of all you need to make the field Nullable  then after that so simple - instead of putting a value put this code CURRENT TIMESTAMP

Kind of depends on where the value you want to insert is coming from   If you want to insert the current time you can use CURRENT TIMESTAMP as shown in other answers  or SYSTIMESTAMP    If you have a time as a string and want to convert it to a timestamp  use an expression like  to timestamp  timestamp as string  MM DD YYYY HH24 MI SS FF3     The time format components are  I hope  self-explanatory  except that FF3 means 3 digits of sub-second precision   You can go as high as 6 digits of precision   If you are inserting from an application  the best answer may depend on how the date time value is stored in your language   For instance you can map certain Java objects directly to a TIMESTAMP column  but you need to understand the JDBC type mappings

INSERT INTO    mytable  timestamp field  VALUES   CURRENT TIMESTAMP    CURRENT TIMESTAMP and SYSTIMESTAMP are Oracle reserved words for this purpose  They are the timestamp analog of SYSDATE
