INSERT INTO some_table (some_date_field) VALUES
(TO_DATE('01-JAN-97 01:30:15 PM','DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS AM'));
or:
INSERT INTO some_table (some_date_field) VALUES
(TO_DATE('03/17/97 13:30:15','DD-MON-YY HH24:MI:SS')); These are only two of the many format models you can use for this purpose. Check you SQL or PL/SQL language reference books, where they're all listed.
