GA ANNOUNCEMENT - Timezone Files Automatically Updated

Content

For time zone support, Oracle Database uses time zone files that store the list of all time zones. The time zone files for Autonomous Database are periodically updated to reflect the latest time zone specific changes.

An Autonomous Database instance will automatically pick up updated time zone files depending on the lifecycle state of the instance:

- Stopped: At the next start operation the update is automatically applied.
- Available: After a restart the update is automatically applied.

When a load or import operation results in a timezone related error, restart the ADB instance and try again.
