Bulk load date string to timestamp column issue

Hi,

I have a date  ( format 'yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss' ) as a string and trying to bulk load it to a target column of timestamp.

It seem I cannot have a string -> timestamp mapping in the bulk load even though the string is a valid date format.

Is there any way around this because I am having issues trying to convert the date string into a timestamp datatype using javascript.

Any clues would be helpful.

Thanks,
