The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/functions-formatting.html
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.
