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.

Thanks in Advance!!

Yes

All DATE and TIMESTAMP data are wrong (strictly speaking).
And you cannot do it if you have table with TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns:
SQL> ALTER database SET TIME_ZONE = '+10:00';
ALTER database SET TIME_ZONE = '+10:00'
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-30079: cannot alter database timezone when database has TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns

ORA-30079: cannot alter database timezone when database has TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns
 *Cause:  An attempt was made to alter database timezone with
          TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE column in the database.
 *Action: Either do not alter database timezone or first drop all the
          TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns.

I don't think so, but test it.
