Ooops... I'm sorry, but I've posted wrong results here. Correct
version is here.
# SELECT to_timestamp('2018- -01 02', 'YYYY---- --- --MM-DD') FROM dual
ORA-01843: not a valid month
(length of last spaces/separators group is 2)
# SELECT to_timestamp('2018- -01 02', 'YYYY---- -- ---MM-DD') FROM dual
02.01.2018 00:00:00
(length of last spaces/separators group is 3)
So length of last group of spaces/separators in the pattern should be
greater or equal to length of spaces/separators in the input string.
Other previous groups are ignored in Oracle. And that seems
ridiculous for me.
