Current_timestamp question

Is the information stored for the time zone database or is it stored as local time zone, when I ask current_timestamp...?

Thank you

Is the information stored for the time zone database or is it stored as local time zone, when I ask current_timestamp...?

The Oracle documentation answers this question for you. Have you checked it? If not, why?

The simplest possible web for 'oracle 11g current_timestamp' search returns this as the very FIRST result

http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/functions038.htm

CURRENT_TIMESTAMPReturns the date and time in the time zone of the session, a value of data type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE . The zone offset specifies the current local time of the SQL session. If you omit the precision, the default value is 6. The difference between this function and LOCALTIMESTAMP , it's that CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns a TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE in a LOCALTIMESTAMP returns a TIMESTAMP value.

The very FIRST sentence to this FIRST link answered your question.

'

The documentation is your friend.

The FIRST place to look for information is the Oracle documentation.

When I interview people for the positions of DBA or developer I don't start with questions about the technology. I start with questions about how they FIND information when they have a question.

If someone is unable to give a clear answer on how to find information on the internet that they will NOT hire get any technical expertise they might have and not matter how good their resume looks.

They must DEMONSTRATE that they can find answers to basic questions like yours quickly and efficiently. Most impotantly they must demonstrate that they can find relevant information in the Oracle documentation.

  • A question about the insertion of the localTimeStamp returned the value into a timestamp with time zone column

    Hello

    Oracle version: Enterprise Edition Release 12.1.0.1.0 - 64 bit

    OS: CentOS 4.6 X86_64                  

    I have a question about the localTimeStamp function. According to the documentation for this function is
    the same thing as current_TimeStamp except that the returned value does not include the time zone.

    Consider the following example:

    SQL > create table tmptab (colval timestamp with time zone not null);

    Table created.

    SQL > insert into tmptab (colval) values (localTimeStamp);

    1 line of creation.

    SQL > select t1.colval, tmptab from t1;

    COLVAL

    SQL >

    Why introduce the foregoing did not fail? the data type of the column in my table colval expects a timestamp with time zone

    during each which inserts as I understand (correct me if I'm wrong) is not provided by the localTimeStamp function.

    Could someone kindly tell me what I misunderstood?

    Thanks in advance,

    Then, when you do

    create table t (neck DATE);

    Insert into t (to_date ('1st January 2014', ' mon-dd-yyyy "");)

    Are you surprised that it works? After all a DATE column contains a time component, you do not provide: but he

    works and gives you 00:00:00 as the component "hour".

    Similarly, the timezone component is being developed to automatically with, I think, time zone of your system.

  • Questions of DST, part two

    Oracle 11.20.1.0 SE - One
    Oracle Linux 5.6 x 86-64

    Cut to the Chase. Most of our tasks in the Scheduler is set so that start_date, last_start_date, and next_run_date all specify them the zone with a fixed offset. As a result, the first execution after the time change DST, they ran an hour initially, but then calculation for the next execution corrected and they found running at the scheduled time.

    Finally, almost.

    We have two application schemas that have Task Scheduler.

    Jobs in a schema is featured as above.

    But all the work of the other schema to continue to run an hour earlier.

    the above can be seen in the result of this query:
    select
         instance_name
    ,     systimestamp
    from
         v$instance;
    --
    select 
         owner
    ,     job_name
    ,     log_date
    ,     status
    from
         dba_scheduler_job_log
    here   log_date > sysdate - 10
      and   owner not in ('EXFSYS',
                          'ORACLE_OCM',
                          'PERFSTAT',
                          'SYS'
                          )
    order by
         owner
    ,     job_name
    ,     log_date
    ;
    Very easy to simply go to the bottom of the column LOG_DATE and see time to change.

    For my first two questions is - can someone explain the behavior above, in particular the inconsistency in a single schema 'cure' jobs themselves after the first run after the time change, but another schema employment continuing to run an hour earlier.

    I don't know if she's wearing on her or not, but most of the jobs (two patterns) is provided with a local function to "frequency" that uses a decimal representation of the time (ie: WEEKLY(.4583,'SATURDAY'))


    And a second question - what are the things that affect the representation of time zone in the start_date when defining a new job? Our programmer creates / manages jobs using SQL Navigator, and there is no provision in the GUI it to specify a specific time zone or (offset vs name) method to represent a time zone. I read that there are some influences on the client side, but have not restored that right away.

    Try

    SELECT CAST (SYSDATE AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE) FROM dual;
    

    you will see the time zone.

    Or a more detailed example

    ALTER SESSION SET TIME_ZONE='Europe/Prague';
    SELECT dbms_scheduler.stime, sysdate, systimestamp, current_timestamp,CAST (SYSDATE AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE), CAST (to_date('1.1.2012','dd.mm.yyyy') AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE) FROM dual;
    
    ALTER SESSION SET time_zone='Asia/Bangkok';
    SELECT dbms_scheduler.stime, sysdate, systimestamp, current_timestamp,CAST (SYSDATE AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE), CAST (to_date('1.1.2012','dd.mm.yyyy') AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE) FROM dual;
    
    ALTER SESSION SET time_zone='-6:00';
    SELECT dbms_scheduler.stime, sysdate, systimestamp, current_timestamp,CAST (SYSDATE AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE), CAST (to_date('1.1.2012','dd.mm.yyyy') AS TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE) FROM dual;
    

    You can see that DATE to TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE conversion session TIME_ZONE.

    Thanks in advance

    Not sure you can even get nanosecond on Linux with 11.2 accuracy because the last 3 digits of the second are always set to 0. It seems that the best you can get is the precision of the microsecond on Linux.

  • Question of cloning for SSD upgrade on 12 Macbook Pro

    Previously, I did an upgrade to SSD on my Macbook Air to 2012 according to the instructions of JetDrive transcend. Basically connection via USB 3 and using Mac OS X to clear (and format) disc utilities new SSD, then restore again SSD and then remove the original 128 GB SSD and insert the new 480 GB SSD.  For about a month and so far without problem.

    Now I'm trying to 2012 Macbook upgrade my Pro partner (on 10.11.6).  I got a Crucial SSD MX300 to replace his HARD drive.  Crucial comes with (or recommend) Acronis software.  And a lot of the messages of the forum recommend Carbon Copy Clone.

    My question is if I can use the same method for the cloning of the HD as my Macbook Air (just restore disk of Mac OS X utilities)?  This time, I'm upgrading HARD drive and I don't know if something is different.  At the same time, if I got lucky the first time, I don't not ruin Macbook Pro my spouse this time.

    Thank you.

    Yes, you can use disk utility to clone your MBP wives, but unlike CCC, it will not clone the recovery and Partition.

  • Question about resolution movie downloads

    If I buy a movie at a certain resolution (780p for example), but I want more later re - download at a higher or lower resolution (SD or 1080 p), can I do so and how?

    Same question perhaps for music. Some of my songs have been bought before the latest Apple codecs.

    Any help is appreciated!

    THX!

    Once you have made a purchase on the iTunes store, you will see your purchased items in the menu under accounts bar > bought. You can simply select the item purchased and re-upload.

    With regard to the resolution of the film for films that are offered, and you select the resolution, you can download it again and select a different resolution. For movies that are available as separate download to SD, 780, or 1080 points, you would be limited to the original resolution you selected.

  • Bootcamp Windows 10 question

    Hi all

    Stumbled upon a problem, try to install Windows 10 an end 2014 27' iMac w/retina education runs Yosemite 10.10.5. Bootcamp is V 5.1.4. 32 GB, 3.5 ghz Intel I5. Disk of 1 TB of Fusion. Before you try this, I read the guide of Bootcamp to install windows, but also a number of other tutorials and forum messages about potential problems. This research, I learned that for EDU edition you must change the name of the file from Win10_1607_Education_English_x64.iso to Win10_1607_English_x64.iso. Apparently to have the former name of the file may cause OS X to not recognize the ISO. That fact I started Bootcamp, waited while the software downloaded and created a bootable USB key and partitioned my drive giving Windows 70 GB of space. After that, I got the message that my computer is restarts. Upon restarting, I got the black screen with the blue Windows logo and a spinning loading animation. After a few minutes, a blue screen with a message "Windows has encountered and error with computer and must restart," or something similar. He was pretty quick, so maybe it's not word for Word, but it was not a helpful post in terms of saying something specific. When the computer reboots, I am sent directly to OS X, though a bit slower than normal. I tried to restart with the flash drive to see if the installer would start up, no dice. Try now the Option key at startup, the flash player is not available. Went into my settings to see if I could change my startup on Win disk install USB, no luck it no more.

    Now for the question: How can I get the Windows installation again? What I have to start the process, and if so, what should I use Bootcamp to delete the partition that was created? I have re-run Bootcamp and the only option that is checked is the partition and start and install/uninstall windows and delete the partition.

    Thanks for the help.

    If you use a USB drive, not a USB flash drive, you will have problems. It is recommended to use a 8-16 GB USB2 flash drive.

    If the installation program is located on a USB Flash drive, stop your Mac, connect the USB key, restart and hold down the alt/option key and select the Windows icon in the USB port. This installs Windows in BIOS mode. If you click the start EFI icon, it will install using the EFI mode (faster). You may need to change the partition from MBR to GPT using GPT Fdisk.

  • Yahoo account question

    Yes, I understand these are the Apple support forums, but I don't know where else to ask this question and I thought some of you would have the answer to this question.

    I deleted my Yahoo account last week, but I've heard that the 500 million Yahoo accounts were hacked in 2014. I made my account in 2015. Im sure it is hacked since I made my account a year after the supposed hack, but if my account has been hacked and I deleted which would be safe?

    If your account did not exist in 2014, then it is has not been hacked. Removal of the guarantees it will not be new since there was more pirate. Normally, at least the hackers got access to more information in the narrative, as credit card numbers, change your Yahoo password would have sufficed.

  • Text backup question / deleted

    I accidentally deleted one of my iPhone SMS 6 Plus.  They always show on my iMac and iPad but I fear when an AutoSave occurs, it will back up the iPhone and remove them to two other devices. What will happen?  I use iCloud if that makes a difference.

    Hi melissahh625,

    I understand that you have questions about your messages deleted on different devices. I know that it is important to have a handle on your data, so I'm happy to help you.

    When you receive messages, they are stored on different devices. This means that when you delete a device they will not be deleted on the other. This is the case, even if one of your backup devices to iCloud that these backups are specific to devices, as well.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!
