Error when changing database time zone

Hi all,
I have Oracle 9.2.0.1.0 on Windows 2000 Pro. I try to change the time zone of the database using
ALTER DATABASE SET TIME_ZONE = '+01:00'
but it fails with error ORA-02231.
Am I missing something?

This is an expected behaviour, it's just that the message text was not meaningful.
Basically if there is a TSLTZ column in the database, user is not allowed to change the database time zone. This is because it will invalid their existing TSLTZ data.
You should either perform ALTER DATABASE SET TIME ZONE before creating any tables with TSLTZ columns, or drop the TSLTZ columns first before doing the ALTER DB statement.
According to Bug 2435266, the error message has now been changed to
ORA-30079: cannot alter database timezone when database has TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns

  • Error when changing database connection

    I changed my connections.properties file to a database other than the one I used to develop my application. I was able to connect to the new database successfully from the application but when I tried to insert a new row I received the following error:

    Does anyone know what is causing this problem?

    Your new database connection must be pointing to an older database which doesn't support the returning clause. I believe this was added in the 8.x series.

  • N8 calendar times change when in new time zone

    How do you stop the calendar times changing when you enter a new time zone? This is very frustrating, particularly when the calendar contains flight times etc which you have entered in the local time zone of place of departure. Then when you move into that time zone it automatically changes every calendar entry! Annoying! I realise I can deselect automatic time zones, but then I'm guessing when I do change the time zone manually to where I am (so that it shows the time of day, and I can set an alarm to wake me up, etc!!!) then the same thing will happen - all my calendar entries will change. Hope someone has worked it out already.

    the times are stored on the phone in absolute time, lets call it gmt. they are then displayed on your handset in local time.
    the times aren't actually changing as you change time zones. they are very much staying the same.
    to achieve what you re after you are just going to have to enter the times in one of the text fields.
    There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

  • How do I stop iCal from ever changing the time zones of my appointments?

    I cannot figure out time zone support in iCal, and just want it never to move the time of an appointment when I change time zones. I have tried switching time zone support on and off, and it makes no difference, the appointment times change when the time zone changes. It's infuriating! How do I make it stop?
    Thanks!

    Whitecity,
    According to iCal Help...Changing the time zone for an event: Choose iCal > Preferences, click Advanced, and select the "Turn on time zone support" checkbox...To change the event's time zone, choose a time zone from the pop-up menu in the Info drawer. To make the event appear at the same time no matter what time zone the main calendar view is in, choose Floating..;~)

  • Problem caused with appt times by changing calendar time zone support?

    I've got a 30Gb iPod Touch, version 4.0.2.
    I've always kept the Settings' Date & Time timezone for the correct location, but it was only a while back that I realized that there was also a Time Zone under the Settings, Calendar, and so I changed it so that it was correct (it was previously set to Kabul, AF time, and it was then changed to Ottawa, ON time).
    I'm thinking that this may have messed up all my future appointments, as my appointments have been switched to midnight or somewhere near it, for the day prior to when the appointment was supposed to have been. I can't think of anything else that would be causing this, and didn't see this exact problem occurring for anyone else when I did a search of the discussions.
    Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening and what I can do to set it right?

    Hi Cindiii,
    Time zone support has often been a point of contention and confusion for many users. Unfortunately, there is no simple fix at the present time. Do you have any idea as to why you touch was set to Kabul? Did you buy it new? If not, perhaps the last user had it set to this time?
    In any case, Calendar does allow for its own time zone settings. This is to allow the user to create events for his/her home time zone while traveling. Even if your system time zone reflects the current time zone that you are in, appointments added to Cakendar will show up in the time zine that you choose based in the time zone you set in the Calendar settings.
    This definitely sets up conflicts if you are trying to schedule an appointment that is outside of your home time zone. Now that you have switched the time zone in your Calendar settings to your home time zone, there is nothing you can do about the events already created. As I see it, you have only two options:
    1. Change the time zone back to Kabul time and view your events as though they were your local time, or
    2. Leave the time zone in the Calendar settings to your home time zone and either time adjust the events in your head (knowing the time difference), or manually changing them to the correct time one by one.
    I'm sorry this doesn't provide you with a magic solution, but I really don't see any other alternatives.

  • When changing database directory in lk6.5, no alarms are logged anymore.

    When changing database directory in lk6.5, no alarms are logged anymore. Traces are running ok, only any query in MAX concerning alarms, will result in an empty response

    Hi Ryan,
    I tried many ways. First as you described. Second; delete all databases (with MAX) and start lookout, hoping lk would make al necessary settings.
    I tried short path name, long path name. All the same results; database will be made (or manually with Max or automatically by lk), all traces works, only NOT the Alarm logging. (database isn't corrupted, while a query done in MAX don't result in an error, just empty result).
    I the meantime I found something;
    C:\Documents and Settings\my name\my documents\Databse --> traces works, alarms not
    C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Lookout 6.5\Database --> all works
    So it seams that specificly "my documents" does'nt work for alarms, just for traces (????)
    I also found the following message when trying to export the alarms; "The given Citadel database is not currently configured to log alarms to a relational database." Does this ring a bell?

  • How change 'home' time-zone in ical?

    Hi
    Question ... how to change 'home' time-zone in ical?
    I have just relocated countries ... to a different time zone.
    I use time-zone support in iCal and add time-zone to various tasks.
    But when i add a task and note it as my now current time-zone then ical immediately alters the diary placement to assume that i am in my old country/time-zone.
    I have altered the region in Preferences/International but this seems to have no effect, in ical at least.
    guidance welcomed
    ross

    In the very upper, right-hand corner of the iCal window is a time zone display, here you can choose to change your iCal time zone.
    If you choose "other" from the time zone display's pop-up menu, you get a dialog just like the Date and Time System Preferences.
    Why this option is not in the iCal preferences, I have no idea. To me, that would make a lot more sense!

  • How can I change the time zone while not changing the time

    Let me preface this by saying I know this may seem tiddling to many but it is somthing I am rather obsessive about.
    I took many photos while I was in Los Angeles.  I had changed my camera's clock and the clock in the MacBook Pro to Pacific Standard Time and my iPhone automatically did the same thing. When I loaded photos into Aperture on my MacBook Pro the time information was all correct, all photos tagged in PST.  I had some photos I took on my last day that I did not load into Aperture until I got home to Denver.  When I loaded these images into Aperture they still have the correct time that they were shot but now show as being taken on Mountain Standard Time.  If I change the time zone in Aperture then the image time is also adjusted to be one hour earlier.
    Is there any way I can change the time zone in Aperture while leaving the actual image time alone?

    Hello Mark,
    Aperture will display the "Date created" with respect to the time zone your system is set to, but the "Date" using the time zone the image was taken in.
    You can adjustthe Time Zone for individual images either on import or afterwards using batch change:
    Select the images you want to adjust, then select "Metadata -> Batch Change" from the Aperture Application menu:
    Click: Adjust Time Zone
    Set the Camera's Time Zone to the Time zone you set your camera to when you took the images, and the Actual Time Zone to the zone you want Aperture to use to display the date.
    Regards
    Léonie
    P.S:
    This works with most cameras, but there seems to be a bug with canon cameras when importing directly from the camera. Frank Caggiano recently started a thread, but right now I cannot find the link.

  • Change server time will change database time?

    If a change my unix hour (because summer hour) the database will change without any commands or i need to do something?
    Tks,
    Elber.

    Yes, SYSDATE will pick up the underlying operating system's date and time.
    If you are changing the time zone in which the server resides, though, make sure that the operating system time zone and the database time zone are in sync if you are using any TIMESTAMP columns.

  • How can I change the time zone for a calendar entry with iOS 7?

    I want to make a new entry in my calendar (iOS 7) using a different time zone as the one I'm located in. There isn't any option to choose the time zone like there is in OS X.
    I know I can switch off the option to automatically change the time zone in the preference pane of Mail, Contacts and Calendar to get the option in calendar but I want to use this automatic switch.
    Is there any option to change the time zone of a calendar entry without loosing this automatic switch?

    Got it!
    In your backing file you'll need the following in your handlePostbackData method:
    BookBackingContext bookCtx = BookBackingContext.getBookBackingContext(arg0);
    bookCtx.setupPageChangeEvent("PageLabel");
