Arguments	Description
[in] value	A Variant of type String, Date, or OraTimeStampTZ to be compared.
[in] [optional] format	Specifies the TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE format string to be used to interpret value when value is type String. If format is not specified, value is interpreted using the Format property of the current OraTimeStampTZ object.

Remarks

If value is of type String, the string format must match the format specified in the format argument. If format is not specified, the string format must match the Format property of the current session OraTimeStampTZ object.

If value is of Date type, the date-time value in Date is interpreted as the date-time value in the time zone of the session.
