Bricklen,
thanks for your answer.
In 9.2 it works, so a function
returning the current date in UTC could be:
CREATE OR REPLACE
FUNCTION UTCSYSDATE
RETURN DATE IS
BEGIN
RETURN to_date(to_char(SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP),'YYYY-MM-DD
HH24:MI:SS'),'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS');
END;
/
SELECT UTCSYSDATE FROM DUAL;
UTCSYSDATE
-------------------
2004-03-10 18:38:39
But my collegue has Oracle 7.3.4, I fear,
the functions SYS_EXTRACT_UTC and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP are not available...
