Description:

In this example:

> Here is a more complex example: to_timestamp('15:12:02.020.001230',
'HH:MI:SS.MS.US') is 15 hours, 12 minutes, and 2 seconds + 20 milliseconds +
1230 microseconds = 2.021230 seconds.

HH needs to be HH24

> ERROR:  hour "15" is invalid for the 12-hour clock
> HINT:  Use the 24-hour clock, or give an hour between 1 and 12.
