The JDBC specification defines escapes for specifying date, time and timestamp values which are supported by the driver.
{d 'yyyy-mm-dd'} which is translated to DATE 'yyyy-mm-dd'
{t 'hh:mm:ss'} which is translated to TIME 'hh:mm:ss'
{ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f...'} which is translated to TIMESTAMP 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.f'
The fractional seconds (.f...) portion of the TIMESTAMP can be omitted.
