How do you handle date and time in a global implementation

Hello:
Does somebody have a strategy on handling date and time in a global environment? Does Oracle timestamp it based on the Time Zone it is in? If so, if I have a distributed data architecture and data is getting replicated across these sites that are in different time zones, how does it handle the situation?
Thanks.

There are a variety of TIMESTAMP data types-- TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, and TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE. TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE or TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE will probably work for you. If you are going to display the data to a user, however, TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE is probably the best option since it automatically converts to the local time zone. If you just have application code that is looking at the timestamps, either one will work.

  • How to find the Date and Time of Modification of Column in aTable?

    Hi all,
    Do  you know how to find the Date and Time of Addition of Column to a Particular Table?.
    I know however, How to find the modification time of the Table. Using the below Query :
    Select Object_Name, to_Char(Last_DDL_TIME, 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') Last_DDL from User_Objects where Object_Type = 'TABLE';
    Object_Name
    Last_DDL
    Employee
    20-Aug-2013 09:23:03
    I wanted to know the Creation or Modification Date and Timestamp of all columns of Employee Table?. Is it possible at all. If possible, How to get it?.
    Regards,
    Bhaskar M

    I agree with you on that. Since its a development enviornment I can remove the column but that not my point here.
    My whole purpose it to know whether we get the Column's Creation or Modification DateTime.

  • How to get the date and Time?

    Hi,
    I am using Jdev 11.1.2.0.
    I had one database table. In that table one variable as bgnDtm and the datatype as oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp. In my Impl class I declare one variable as beginDate(DateType as oracle.jbo.domain.Date).
    Now I am using the conversion as beginDate=(Date) SampleVO.getAttribute("bgnDtm ");.If I using this scenario I got the Type cast error. so how can I separate Date and Time value.
    So how to do. Please provide some suggestions.
    Regards,
    Ragu.

    you can get the time value either from oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp or from oracle.jbo.domain.Date
    oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp timeStampDate = (oracle.jbo.domain.Timestamp) SampleVO.getAttribute("bgnDtm");
    Time time;
            try {
                time = timeStampDate.timeValue();
                System.out.println(time);
            } catch (SQLException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            java.sql.Date sqlDate=timeStampDate.dateValue();
                oracle.jbo.domain.Date jboDate=new oracle.jbo.domain.Date(sqlDate);
            Time timeValue = jboDate.timeValue();
            System.out.println(timeValue);Edited by: M.Jabr on Dec 23, 2011 1:55 PM

  • How to read the date and time information of a file by labview

    how to read the date and time information of a file by labview? for example, created time and modified time.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    if you need to know the last modification date of file:-
    "Functions->File I/O->Advanced File Functions->File/Directory Info.vi"
    This vi returns the value of file's last modification date. This is returned as U32 number. To see it in MM/DD/YY format you must create the indicator, right-click on it and select "Format & Precision" item from drop-down menu. Then select "Time and Date" format there.
    Thanks as kudos only

  • How do i show date and time info of videos in Iphone as they appeare before import in iPhoto?

    How do i show date and time info of videos in Iphone as they appeare before import in iPhoto? or even as they appear on the iPhone itself? The selection on tool bar for show info is greyed out.

    Welcome T G Brown to the  iMovie boards..
    the socalled timestamp is within the imports.. if you select a clip in iM and hit the key combo Apple-I, you can see recording time and date.
    unfortunately, this info isn't delivered to any software. Bruce Gee (geethree.com, excellent plug-in maker) told us, there's no 'API' he could use for such a feature...
    same on the pro side, read this discussion at the FinalCutExpress boards:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7982935
    Forum member Ian offers a solution with a 3rd party app ....
    so: pen&pencil and typing timestamp manually into any 'Title' seems to be your only option...

  • How to get system date and time?

    Can someone show me a code on how to get system date and time.
    Thanks!

    there is one really easy way to get system time, the api gives a great example of code on this. use gregorian calendar, which you'll find in the api under GregorianCalendar. You only need to create one instance of GC, ie Calendar time = new GregorianCalendar();
    you save seconds, minute and hours into int values, so you don't have to access the system time every second, you can create a thread which adds one to the int second value, if oyu see what i mean, for example, i have saved the hours, minutes and seconds as int values;
    int hour, minute, second;
    i can then create a thread (Thread thread = new Thread(this) and run it like:
    Calendar time;
    int hour, minute, second;
    Thread thread = null;
    public MyTime() {
    hour= time.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
    minute = time.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
    second = time.get(Calendar.SECOND);
    if(thread == null) {
    thread = new Thread(this);
    thread.start();
    public void run() {
    Thread t = Thread.currentThread();
    while(thread == t) {
    thread.sleep(1000);
    second++;
    if(second > 59)
    minute++;
    if(minute>59)
    hour++;
    formatTime();
    public void formatTime() {
    second = (second > 59? 0 : second);
    minute = (minute > 59? 0 : minute);
    hour = (hour > 23? 0 : hour);
    System.out.println(hour+":"+minute+":"+second);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    new MyTime();
    I know this looks like gibberish but it should work. If not, try to fix the problem, i have written from memory really but i guarantee you, this gets the time then every second, simply adds one to the second and then formats time. You can also access the day, month and year then format them using the above code. I don't like giving code since you should really do these things yourself but it is 2:04am, i have nothing better to do and i am not tired so i did you a favour - i have become what i always did not want to, someone ho stays upall night writing code.

  • How Production Order finish date and time is being comptued by SAP?

    Hello Expert,
    How Production Order finish date and time is being comptued by SAP? for example, we create a Production Order via CO01, the basic start date is 29.09.2008 and time is 04:00 it gives us basic finish date is 29.09.2008 and time is 13:28.
    how does SAP compute the time 13:28 as it finished time
    Please explain me briefly.
    Thanks
    Ryan

    Hello Guys,
    When we create Production Order in R/3 the time is calculated by routing but it is extended at SetUp machine time. It is not correct?. SetUp imachines time used only for first Production Order for the same product and it is plan manually, for others Production Order we need calculate time for production without SetUp machine time being pick up to compute finish time. how could we achieve this? only those Machine time will be check.
    thanks

  • How can i change date and time after importing a file

    hello
    i'm importing AVI files first in iMovie because Final doesn't support (other question i put in) but when i see the scenes form 1993 they have the date 2004.
    i believe 2004 is the date i put them on the computer.
    Now i looked in the help files Final Cut Pro but cant find anything to adjust the date and time.
    it works well in iMovie using the help files:
    Right-click the clip you wish to edit and click Adjust Clip Date and Time from the menu that appears. Or click on Archive and than adjust date and time
    But as i said i cant import the files in FCP have to import them to  iMovie files adjust the date and than import to Final Cut Pro but than de changes i made to the date and time  are gone and in FCP 2004 is again the date of the file!!!
    Question how can i Change in Final Cut Pro the date and time in a same way as iMovie does?
    Jemajoro

    OK, I think I understand what you are saying but it still does not look like it is doing it as you describe.
    Here is another screen shot.
    Note that all clips in "2007 August" event have the date of Aug x, 2007.
    Yet, the event "2007 August" still shows up under the 2012 "folder" (is that the right terminology?).
    The newest clip in this event is Aug 31, 2007 so shouldn't it be categorized as 2007 and not 2012?
    I think you know this but I am using the following feature:
    Go to the sprocket icon under the events.
    Select "Group events by date" and then by "group events by year and month"
    Thanks again for all the help
