The table column definition:

I would recommend issuing one of these on the Oracle side *before* taking
the CSV snapshot.
export NLS_DATE_FORMAT="YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS"
ALTER SESSION SET nls_date_format='YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS';
Otherwise, you have to load this CSV file in a table, that has `text` type
for the column and do a post-processing,
smth like:
INSERT INTO permanent_tab
SELECT *, to_timestamp(col, 'DD-MON-YY HH12.MI.SS.SSSSS AM') FROM
temp_table;
Hope this helps.

The problem is psql doesn't understand/recognise the timestamp format
being used in the CSV dump from Oracle.
Modify the SQL used to extract the data from Oracle so that it formats
the timestamp as a string which psql can parse into a timestamp type -
for example ISO or any of the psql timestamp formats (see psql manual).
