Retrieve UTC timestamp as local time

edited Aug 23, 2014 8:59AM in SQL Language (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

Hello, we are running Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production Standard Edition on Windows.  We have a purchased product that defines columns as timestamp.  So, even though our local time is Eastern, the timestamp is stored as GMT.  For example: a transaction was run on “07/08/2014 22:00:56 PM EDT”, the timestamp stored to the Oracle database is “07/09/2014 02:00:56 PM GMT”.  We would like to query the table using the original local timestamp value “07/08/2014 22:00:56 PM EDT” and find the row with “07/09/2014 02:00:56 PM GMT”.   How do we code our query to make this conversion and find the correct row.  Thanks.

Howdy, Stranger!
