Oracle 19c systimestamp returns the time if you are a USER than if you are logged in as sysdba

in Database Administration (MOSC) 6 commentsAnswered

I have created an oracle 19c (19.7.0.0.0) database in Amazon Web Services. The container database returns the time in EDT if you are logged in as SYS and returns the time in UTC if you are logged in as any other user. When we create the databases in AWS they are started with UTC time. We then change the time on the instance to EDT via the following command.

1) command that I ran on the server was: sudo timedatectl set-timezone "America/Detroit") 

> date

>Mon Oct 5 16:43:53 EDT 2020

> date +%z

-0400

This indicates to me that the OS level time is 4 hours behind UTC. Which is correct for my location.

Howdy, Stranger!
