Oracle's DATE includes a time part as well.
So simply use a timestamp in PostgreSQL and everything should be fine.
Yes, but how can I copy Oracle's DATE into PostgreSQL's timestamp?
(I realize that this more an Oracle question, sorry)
What format string should I take for Oracle's to_date() function,
I don't see a format string to get epoch seconds there
I have no idea what you are doing in PHP, but why don't you simply generate a valid date/time literal for Postgres using the to_char() function?
Something like
SELECT 'TIMESTAMP '''||to_char(QDATETIME, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')||''''
FROM qtrack;
That literal can directly be used in an INSERT statement for PostgreSQL
