Sysdate Showing Wrong Timezone?
May 24, 2012
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 having some weird trouble with my cursor results. My cursor query returns some rows in which one of the called CUT_TEXT2 returns some text msg as per my decode statement. With the result of that value I am sending some emails.when I execute the cursor in toad it is fetching exact values what I wanted. But When I registered the same program in Oracle EBS R12 as a concurrent program it is giving wrong results.
For ex :
ASSIGNMENT_ID EMPLOYEE_NUMBER PERSON_ID DATE_PROBATION_END 3_WEEKS INI_TEXT 3_WEEKS_3_3 CUT_TEXT2 SUPERVISOR_ID
12847 0370 18906 5/23/2013 5/2/2013 NO_ALERT 5/7/2013 CUT_TEXT2 19275
16671 0636 25163 5/28/2013 5/7/2013 INI_TEXT 5/12/2013 NO_ALERT 17202
For ex : PERSON_ID = 18906 has CUT_TEXT2 (col) = CUT_TEXT2 value. In application the same person id has (18906) CUT_TEXT2 = NO_ALERT .. which is failing my program.
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY apps.xx_hr_probation_alert_new

PROCEDURE alert_probation_f_new (
errbuf OUT NOCOPY VARCHAR2,
errcode OUT NOCOPY NUMBER,
notification_type VARCHAR2

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.
-- FAILED
SELECT DBTIMEZONE FROM dual;
--FAILED
select systimestamp, to_char(systimestamp, 'TZR'), extract (timezone_region from systimestamp) from dual;
--FAILED
SELECT systimestamp
AT TIME ZONE DBTIMEZONE "DB Time"
FROM DUAL;
--FAILED
select to_char(systimestamp, 'TZR') from dual;

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�
But when I insert with
<revisedDate version="1">2013-06-10T11:00:00+05:30</revisedDate>,
it is getting inserted successfully.
PS: my db timezone is +00:00

If I run the following query it's executing fine.
SELECT CAST(( FROM_TZ(CAST(SYSDATE AS TIMESTAMP),'CST') AT TIME ZONE ('Japan'))
AS DATE) FROM DUAL;
If I run the following query,I am getting the error.
ORA-01882: timezone region not found
SELECT CAST(( FROM_TZ(CAST(SYSDATE AS TIMESTAMP),'LMT') AT TIME ZONE ('philippines'))
AS DATE) FROM DUAL;

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've written this code to present the problem:
declare
region_date varchar2(100);
region 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'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?

How to change db timezone parameter. My application team has asked me to change the db timzone parameter by following sql.
ALTER database SET TIME_ZONE = '+10:00';
Is this way is the correct one , and do we have any impact on database and does it require a db bounce.

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+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris
(GMT+01:00) Sarajevo, Skopje, Warsaw, Zagreb
(GMT+01:00) West Central Africa
(GMT+02:00) Athens, Beirut, Istanbul, Minsk
(GMT+02:00) Bucharest
(GMT+02:00) Cairo
(GMT+02:00) Harare, Pretoria
(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.

I have a table with the following columns
EMPLOYEEIDNUMBER(12,0)
PUNCHDTM DATE
TIMEZONEIDNUMBER(12,0)
I want to return any results where any employee id that has 2 different timezoneid's on the same date. I would actually like, if its possible, to select these entries to display on one row per employee per day. So for example
EMPLOYEEID - PUNCHDTM - TIMEZONEID - PUNCHDTM - TIMEZONEID
12345 - 6/20/2012 5:00 am - 123 - 6/20/2012 10:00am - 456
To me who is newer with SQL this sounds like i would be 'joining' the table to itself so i've searched for that but not found what i need.

I am having an issue to connect my C++ application to my Oracle DB. When my code calls
oracle::occi::Environment::createEnvironment(),
I get an error "ORA-01804: failure to initialize timezone information".
The application works on other people's Windows machine with their Oracle DB. But it doesn't work from my machine connecting to their Oracle instance. So I guess the issue does not come from my instance but rather from my Oracle dlls maybe?

I am not strong in SQL but can write easy SQL for data extraction but seem to not understand how to correctly use sysdate in a where clause.
Case: I have to create an alert that will email my IT dept once a person is terminated in Oracle HR. The alert will only run once a day with all terminations specified in the alert. Setting up the alert is not the issue, but rather the SQL code I want to use.
The alert will run everyday at CoB 17:30. Now, in my query, how do i specify that the results should be only for the current day? The problem however, is that I also retrieve Person Type which should show as Ex-Employee, but this is only shown the day after the actual termination has been done, because the employee is still active on the date of termination.

I have an employee table. I Have to get the data of all employees in such a way that. If today I run the Query,then i have to get the data of all employees working between december 1st of previous year(current year-1 i.e., december 1st 2010.) till today(april 21st). If the query run date is in the month of december(example december 15th) then the query should get the data from december 1st of current year(december 1st 2011) to December 15th. I wrote the if statement some how its not working. I want to make use of this If or Case Statement as the start date of the employee_timestamp. Is this possible here or not.
select * from employee
where
employee.employee_timestamp > (select to_date(to_char(concat('12-01-', extract(YEAR FROM sysdate)-1)),'MM/DD/YYYY') as Startdate From DUAL)
and
employee.employee_timestamp < (SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL).

What is the difference between the values of sysdate and current_date ? On querying the database I got the results as sysdate = the date and time for the database server location and current_date = my local system date
If however, i change my local system date - it still shows the correct date.Myunderstanding was that current_date uses the dbtimezone.But..
SQL> select sysdate,current_date from dual;
SYSDATE CURRENT_DATE

I have a stored procedure that stores a record containing a date field.
The syntax is
insert into audit_log values (lv_sequence, sysdate, REC_TYPE, p_pln_id, OPER_UPDATE, log_message);
This works except that the date stored in the record has a time of 00:00. This does not work well for an audit log.
How can I store a date that includes a time?
An interesting fact is...I used this same command in SQL Developer to store a record and the date stored did have a time???

I have a table called transaction_dw and I need to select all records that have an account balance that has been below 0 in the past 6 months. initial query I tried was:
select account_balance, timestamp
from transaction_dw
where account_balance < 0
and timestamp between sysdate and sysdate - 6;
but this is only taking 6 days off the sysdate rather than months, how I can get it to take off 6 months?

SELECT TO_CHAR (C_DATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY') || ' ' || TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'HH:MI:SS PM') FROM DUAL;
But while inserting the output of the above query in my table it throws error like this... ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string Is there any possibility to achieve this.

I'm working on a project and I can't figure out the procedure I will need to use. I've got a sysdate field in my "Calls" table which generates a call date + time, however I need to insert a severity level of the call after a certain amount of time,
e.g. after 1 hour level turns from level 4 to level 3 and so forth until reaching level 1 after x amount of time. I know I'd need to put in an else if statement within this procedure I just can't work out how to do it with the sysdate field that has also been created.
A bit of info about the table, table name = calls, column 1 = date_time and column 2 is called severity_level

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.
