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

I think you might look at the SESSIONTIMEZONE:

 

Select SessionTimeZone from dual;

Gives at my place +02:00, meaning that I'm 2 hours befor UTC.

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
