Hi all,

I did a select sysdate from dual, and got 04:09:39 pm, but my machine system time is 4:47pm, which is right.

SQL> select to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss am') from dual;

TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/

How did Oracle get the time? What needs to be set in order to get the correct time?

Thank you in advance!

Leslie
