\COPY table1 FROM '/tmp/Oracle_2020_06.csv' DELIMITER ',' CSV HEADER;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type timestamp: "01-JUN-20 06.04.20.634000 AM"

Appreciate any help with this psql command.

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.
