This format is defined as the "timestamp string" literal in SQL 92 standard: http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~shadow/sql/sql1992.txt (see P. 90) and so this format is very widely used as the default datetime / timestamp literal for major existing RDBMS implementations. Oracle https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/19/sqlrf/Literals.html#GUID-8F4B3F82-8821-4071-84D6-FBBA21C05AC1 SQL Server https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/odbc/reference/develop-app/date-time-and-timestamp-literals?view=sql-server-2017 PostgreSQL https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/datatype-datetime.html#id-1.5.7.13.19.7.2 MySQL https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/datetime.html SQLite3 https://www.sqlite.org/lang_datefunc.html In order to handle this conversion in Ruby on Rails framework, we define our own String => Time conversion method https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/b4c715fe/activemodel/lib/active_model/type/helpers/time_value.rb#L62-L76 and Time => String conversion for now, https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/b4c715fe/activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/time/conversions.rb#L7-L59 and I think it's nicer if we had them in the language level with a faster implementation. As for the method name, maybe we can name it `Time.sql92`, `Time.sql`, `Time.parse_sql92` or whatever, or maybe we can add an option to `Time.iso8601` if it could be regarded as a variation of `Time.iso8601`?
