Expand description

Accepts a string and parses it relative to the provided timezone

In addition to RFC3339 / ISO8601 standard timestamps, it also accepts strings that use a space to separate the date and time as well as strings that have no explicit timezone offset.

Examples of accepted inputs:

  • 1997-01-31T09:26:56.123Z # RCF3339
  • 1997-01-31T09:26:56.123-05:00 # RCF3339
  • 1997-01-31 09:26:56.123-05:00 # close to RCF3339 but with a space rather than T
  • 2023-01-01 04:05:06.789 -08 # close to RCF3339, no fractional seconds or time separator
  • 1997-01-31T09:26:56.123 # close to RCF3339 but no timezone offset specified
  • 1997-01-31 09:26:56.123 # close to RCF3339 but uses a space and no timezone offset
  • 1997-01-31 09:26:56 # close to RCF3339, no fractional seconds
  • 1997-01-31 092656 # close to RCF3339, no fractional seconds
  • 1997-01-31 092656+04:00 # close to RCF3339, no fractional seconds or time separator
  • 1997-01-31 # close to RCF3339, only date no time

IANA timezones are only supported if the arrow-array/chrono-tz feature is enabled

  • 2023-01-01 040506 America/Los_Angeles

If a timestamp is ambiguous, for example as a result of daylight-savings time, an error will be returned

Some formats supported by PostgresSql https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-datetime.html#DATATYPE-DATETIME-TIME-TABLE are not supported, like

  • “2023-01-01 04:05:06.789 +07:30:00”,
  • “2023-01-01 040506 +07:30:00”,
  • “2023-01-01 04:05:06.789 PST”,
