What to be the OS Level DATE and TIME when the ORACLE Database Server and Application Server setup in the US and accessed from Australia?.
What Changes to be done in the App and Database server for Date and Time Format. What typ of data type to be used in the Column level for date and time?

Iam thinking the column level can be given the date datatype but the parameters for the $TIMEZONE and the OS LEVEL US or Aus DATE and TIME to be used?
What should be the DBTIMEZONE? in the Database Server.
Pls let me know the question you understand.?
Thanks

Vikram,

Some of the abbreviations are for daylight savings time, e.g. US/Eastern EST – Eastern Standard Time, US/Eastern EDT – Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

Other abbreviations like EWT (Eastern War Time) are largely for historical support. (EWT was used in the US durring World War II). Of course there were no Oracle databases durring WWII, but that doesn’t mean we won’t want to represent dates from that time period.

Hope this helps.

I hope to know the reason why a single timezone has more than one abbrebiations in the V$TIMEZONE_NAMES .
