Anyone seen the document Doc ID 33174.1 - ORA-600 [12235] "Oracle process has 
no purpose in life !"

 

Who ever said Larry doesn’t have a sense of humor !!

Subject: Re: Current Timestamp over DB Link

 

What about some existing function like this one? (You'd need to grant exec 
access to it and as it's a SQLTUNE one, it probably needs tuning pack license 
too):

 

SQL> SELECT sysdate, sys.dbms_sqltune_util1.get_current_time local_time, 
sys.dbms_sqltune_util1.get_current_time@sol121 remote_time FROM dual;

 

SYSDATE           LOCAL_TIME        REMOTE_TIME

----------------- ----------------- -----------------

20140621 22:41:36 20140621 22:41:35 20140617 13:52:36

 

 

But there may be more existing functions like this one out there... 
(interestingly the local_time and local sysdate are occasionally 1 second off, 
I guess a rounding difference).

 

Btw, whatever pre-existing function you'd end up using, it's worth testing it 
with sql_trace, to make sure it doesn't do any more stuff in the DB under the 
hood. I haven't tested if this one has any side-effects.

Hi,

doesn't work because of ERROR ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected 
(and the pointer is at "@" sign)

I can't create objects in databases

this could work, but it's so complicated, I thought something more simple was 
possible, but looks like it's not.

The optimiser selects a row from the remote table but executes the function 
systimestamp locally.

 

You can either:

 

        select systimestamp, systimestamp@remotedb from dual

 

or create  a view on the remote database:

 

        create view vtime as select systimestamp remote_time from dual;

 

and then select from it:

 

        select systimestamp local_time, remote_time from vtime@remotedb

HI All,

I'm trying to compare the local and remote timestamps to assess the time offset 
between 2 DBs, but this query gives the local timestamp only:


SQL> select systimestamp local_time, (select systimestamp from dual@REMOTE_DB) 
remote_time from dual;

LOCAL_TIME
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMOTE_TIME
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
18-JUN-14 07.00.06.611471 AM -05:00
18-JUN-14 07.00.06.611471 AM -05:00

Can anyone suggest a way to retrieve the current timestamp from a remote DB 
over DB Link?
