Oracle
stores only the fractions up to second in a DATE
field.
Use TIMESTAMP
instead:
SELECT TO_TIMESTAMP('2004-09-30 23:53:48,140000000', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9')
FROM dual
, possibly casting it to a DATE
then:
SELECT CAST(TO_TIMESTAMP('2004-09-30 23:53:48,140000000', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS,FF9') AS DATE)
FROM dual
