In Oracle SQL, you can specify the timestamp format using the TO_CHAR function. The TO_CHAR function allows you to convert a timestamp value to a specific format.


Here is an example of how to specify the timestamp format in Oracle SQL:


SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') AS formatted_timestamp FROM dual;


In this example, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS' is the format string that specifies the desired format for the timestamp. You can customize the format string to display the timestamp in the format you prefer.
