When I try to store the xml as clob with element:
<revisedDate version="1">2013-06-10T11:00:00+11:00</revisedDate>
It is throwing �ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string�

it is getting inserted successfully.
PS: my db timezone is +00:00
I need the timezone of the server that the DB sits on. I don't want the offset. I need the region name. This is because some regions use daylight savings time and some do not. Plus an SA can change the time of the OS. Another company manages our servers and DBs in production and we don't have contact with them. We could use a lookup talbe and just populate it, then update it when we find out what it is in production. The problem is that I have seen cases where the timezone on servers change. Considering the lack of contact between the teams, we really need a reliable way to get the timezone out of the DB.
We tried several ways. My list is below and I explain why this is not working.
examples:
sessiontimezone: this is the timezone of my server. In theory it should be the same as the DB. We cannot take the risk that this will be out of sync. dbtimezone: This gives the offset. Such as -5:00 for US EST. There are multiple regions that have this. Some do not use daylight savings time and some do. We would need America/New York instead.
sessiontimezone gives the timezone setting for the client. This can be altered.
dbtimezone just gives the offset such as -5:00
We get data feeds from different parts of the world. We get some data based data that is local to that regions timezone. We need to partition on this field. So we need to add a field to the DB and normalize it to the time local to our DB Server. So if we get a record from california and the DB is on a server in US EAST, we add 3 hours. The offset won't work...
1. a timezone that we are getting from may not be in daylight savings time. We are partitioning by hour.
2. We would hit daylight savings time in New York before we hit it in California, so we would need to account for that in the math.
This hourly partition is a fixed and hard requirement. We need this to be absolutely accurate.
Here is what we tried:
What I want (pseudo-code): “Select XXX as timezone_region_name” to return “America/New_York” or “UTC”. It may be that the timezone was not set for the database at install time, and if it were, these queuries would work.

If I run the following query it's executing fine.

I have an interesting problem. I have a server in the UK and I have three databases globally - UK (FINUKQ1), NY (FINNYQ1) and TK (FINTKQ1). The NY and TK databases will be migrated to the UK server as part of a consolidation project. Obviously, Time Zones and DST are the biggest concern for me.Here was my plan for the implementation (concentrating on Time Zone/DST issues).
Added to .profile:
--------------------
if [[ "$ORACLE_SID" = "FINTKQ1" ]]; then
export TZ="Asia/Tokyo"
elif [[ "$ORACLE_SID" = "FINNYQ1" ]]; then
export TZ="America/New_York"
else
unset TZ
fi
echo "TZ=$TZ"
Once environment has been set start database and listener.
Change database TZ:
-----------------
alter database set time_zone='Asia/Tokyo';
alter database set time_zone='America/New_York';
Check database TZ:
select dbtimezone from dual;
Add trigger:
------------
CREATE OR replace TRIGGER sys.timezone_check
AFTER startup ON DATABASE
DECLARE
[code]...
The trigger was there to put the database in restricted session if it is started in the wrong TZ and an error written to the alert log. The check was done on the dbtimezone and the dbname. Quite simple. Only issue is that it doesn't work as I wanted as dbtimezone and TZ are separate and disparate entities. i.e. I can start the TK database up in UK time (which will be incorrect for this project), and check the dbtimezone and it will show as 'Asia/Tokyo'.
Is there a better way of checking? Any trigger like this to compare TZs etc?
I am using the below query to get time stamp along with time zone format.
>>SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP FROM DUAL
Now the requirement i got is i need to get convert the format in DD-MON-YY, HH:MM:SS, Timezone (GMT or PST)
how to convert this format. Or is there any alternative time stamp option to do conversion.
I've written this code to present the problem:
declare
region_date varchar2(100);
region varchar2(100);
offset_result varchar2(100);
begin
region_date := '2013-04-07 01:59 Australia/Sydney';
region := 'Australia/Sydney';
select
to_char(
[code]....
What I want to do is to use the variable "region" for the timezone specification as well,And I seem to be unable to, and don't understand why.....
why when I get an "ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis" with this value,Whereas, it works when I put "AT TIME ZONE 'Australia/Sydney'" there?
I have one issue My server is in france and it is in french timezone but when I query for sysdate it returns US time.
In '/etc/sysconfig/clock/'
Zone= europe/paris
UTC= true
echo $TZ variable is returning nothing.
sysdate = us time
systimestamp= us time
current_timestamp = french time
current_date = french time
dbtimezone= europe/warsove, sessiontimezone=+2.00( which is also europe timezone offset)
tz_offset(dbtimezone)=+2.00, tz_offset(sessiontimezone)= +2.00 i.e europe
os timezone= europe/paris.
This command "./emctl config agent getTZ" is also returning timezone as europe/paris
Also in "emd.properties" file "agentTZRegion" parameter is set to europe/paris
Oracle version= 11.2.0
Now I don't understand why this sysdate and systimestamp is returning "US time zone" while everything else is returning french time zone.
I'm in the process of testing a restore/recover from a simulated full system and media loss. A level 0 backup was taken from the server, and I'm trying to restore/recover to a point in time on a second server. I have created the database (with the same name) and have been able to successfully restore both the controlfile and spfile from the autobackup.
how does RMAN treat the "set until time"? The level 0 was taken on a database/server that is in CST while the database I'm trying to do a restore/ recover to is in EST. So when trying to do a point in time recovery, should I specify the time in EST or CST?
I'm going to migrate my current db 9.2.0.8 (Timezone version is 1!) to a new server 11.2.0.3, so I was wondering if I must upgrade timezone version of my current 9iR2 to version 4! Before upgrade it...Btw my new server has timezone v14.

Order time is not properly displayed in the local timezone format and day light saving calculation is also another issue. Description:
We have web application & a centralized database where users can create orders globally. When orders are created time is saved in UTC format in the centralized global database.
somehow along with the UTC order time, timezone description is also being stored in one of the Database table as
UTC time as: '28-NOV-2010 11:24:54 PM'
Timezone description:
(GMT) Casablanca, Monrovia
(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London
(GMT+01:00) Amsterdam, Berlin, Bern, Rome, Stockholm, Vienna
(GMT+01:00) Belgrade, Bratislava, Budapest, Ljubljana, Prague

(GMT+02:00) Helsinki, Kyiv, Riga, Sofia, Tallin
.....
...
With this information how can I map timezone description to V_$TIMEZONE_NAMES. I read Oracle automatically converts to local timezones by considering day light saving timings when TZNAME is given as input with the datetime. by using above timezone descriptions how can I get TZNAMES which are in V_$TIMEZONE_NAMES.
I have a requirement in which a particular a timestamp column (date1) whose values are in CET timezone needs to be converted to EST and day light savings should be taken care of in the conversion logic. I should not use any ddl statements for altering the timezone and all.

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0
I am tasked to develop and application using Apex 4.2.2.00.11 and Oracle Database 10.2.0.4 on a Windows 2003 Server. This application needs to support different time zones. Briefly, a user in timezone A should be able to create a record with a date in timezone B and the users should be able to view the records in their timezones. What is the best method? Should I maintain a Timezone field for each user site or even per transaction, or is using "Automatic Time Zone" feature in Globalization section of Application Properties sufficient? I have developed Apex applications before, but they did not have to have different time zones, so I am not sure how I should build my database schema. Do you guys store everything as UTC and display values based on user's Timezone setting? I am aware of the Timestamp with Local Timezone data type.

At my Workplace we have a large Orcle 11g Database with 30 different tables for production control issues.I try to get a couple of different information from the database, so i started with SQL Query's, but for this problem i was not able to write an working query.

The age of my query result should be calculated from the Create date of the Order.I want to know 2 things, one is how old was the Order when they reached that status A, R and U.The second this ist, how long did the order remain on the stat A,R and U (and if possible all other status also)It could happend that not each order reaches each status, so it ca go directly from A to you in this case i want display a wildcard in this row/column

I have the scenario where I have a table(table 1) which stores the car code and the meaning of that code. I then have another table (table 2)which just stores the code. My datablock is based on the table which just contains the code(table 2). On my form if the user wishes to populate this field in the record I have a Lov which goes to the table 1 and retrieves the code and the meaning of it.
The code is then returned to the corresponding field in the datablock for table 2. this works fine in adding and editing. the user sees the meaning and whilst selecting from the lov populates the code field behind the scenes and everything works fine. However, my problem is when the user does a query only the code field is populated from table 2 (the code field is hidden to the user) therefore the meaning field is left blank as if there is no data there when in fact this is not the case.
