Your NLS_DATE_FORMAT does not match your date string. you need to alter NLS_DATE_FORMAT, or use the to_date function:

As you are entering a date here, consider using the to_date function. This would change the date portion of your code here to

SQL

to_date('04-MAY-11 10:09:59 PM', 'DD-MON-YY HH:MI:SS PM')
