RE: databases on same server with different timezones...

I haven't ran into that for Oracle, but I have for our Baan ERP application 
that runs on top of Oracle.  We set just set the TZ environment variable as 
needed.  Maybe you could adjust your TZ variable appropriately before starting 
each instance?

Subject: databases on same server with different timezones...



Curious to see if anyone has a server, with multiple databases running where 
each database has a different TZ requirement(Pacific, Mountain, Central, and 
Eastern). And all databases on the server would use the same Unix acct (aka 
oracle). 

From what I can gather, Oracle uses the "gettimeofday" call to satisfy the 
request for a sysdate call. Thus, one would need to set the OS TimeZone 
appropriately since the DB would obtain the date/time from the OS... While I 
run thru the manual and metalink; I thought I would see if anyone on the list 
has had this experience......

 

Thanks

Greg
