Currently, the optional timezone indicator on a TIMESTAMP field is expected to contain a colon (:) character. For example: 2017-05-22 12:33:01-07:30 However, [ISO8601](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601) allows a timezone format without the colon character, like this: 2017-05-22 12:33:01-0730 I have not needed this feature yet, but this should be easy to add if someone needs it.
