Re: Set Time Zone

Can't , not in 8i.
9i has introduced a TIMEZONE datatype where time can be reported offset by the UTC+/- offset.

You'd have to build the logic in your application to increment/decrement the sysdate, depending
on the user/client location (use a lookup table for location and timezone-offset) when fetching
the sysdate.
SYSDATE would always return the date on the server where the database instance is running.

Hi Gurus,

How can I set up a time zone for each region that connect on SAME Database 8i

Case: Database in NewYork. Clients in San Franciso, Paris .. When they use "select sysdate from dual ;" ( on Client or server side )  They should see their local time .??

Thanks in advance
Tran
