Hi List,=0D
=0D

(Oracle 8i, SunOS 5.7)=0D
=0D

Can anyone tell me if resetting the time on our production machine (for example at 23:55, resetting to 23:50 and then doing this every 5 minutes = for
approximately 5 or 6 times) would have any adverse effect on our database=
=2E=0D

We can assume that the nightly hot backups would run some hours after thi= s
exercise has finished.=0D
Our sys. admins. have been tasked with this to allow for some (unorthodox= )
month end processing.=0D
=0D

Thanks in advance,=0D

Ron
