------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 10.5 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (SUSE Linux)
4.8.5, 64-bit
test=# select '09/10/18 07:10:25.100'::timestamp;
timestamp
-----------------------
2018-09-10 07:10:25.1
(1 row)
test=# select '09/10/18 07:10:25.111'::timestamp;
timestamp
-------------------------
2018-09-10 07:10:25.111
Milliseconds will display if they are significant.
If you want to format the output:
test=# select to_char('09/10/18 07:10:25.100'::timestamp, 'MM/DD/YY
HH:MI:SS.MS');
to_char
-----------------------
09/10/18 07:10:25.100
