Oracle timezone support

Hello All,
We are using Oracle 10 g. the database follows European timezone and we operate from USA. I am working on timezone dependent code and facing issues with it, any guidance will be a great help.
When I use the query:
1. "select current_timestamp from dual" I get time displayed in US timezone.
2. "select systimestamp from dual", I get time in European timezone.
No issues with the results of any of the above query, but when I use
A* select extract (*hour from current_timestamp*) from dual; I get Hour displayed as ( European time - 1 ).
B* It always gives Hour for a weird timezone, even if I change the timezone for the session by using "alter session set time_zone = 'EST' "
Can someone please throw some light on this ?

get the info of the client time zone and compare it with the installed one.
you can store all this info in a oracle table and can perform your desired action.

Provide Timezone Support

Hi,
We have an application which we are wanting to introduce timezone support. The DB server resides and runs in GMT but now have clients who could be based anywhere in the world.
Has anybody any experience in converting a system from the old DATE to using the TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE?
Also have many forms, reports, Pro*C modules which would need looking at. What would be involved in this task?
We are running 9.2 with 9iAS and forms/reports 6.
Any help appreciated.
Many Thanks

XML Parsing in Java Stored Proc--Oracle XML Support Installation?

I am working with a third party product that is having difficulty running a java stored proc that is parsing a supplied XML file. The proc basically looks like:
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
InputStream is = getXMLAsInputStream(xml);
try {
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document document = builder.parse( is );
... parse the document ....
catch (FactoryConfigurationError e) {
// unable to get a document builder factory
We are running on 9.2.0.6, HP-UX 64-bit. At first, when we would attempt to run the proc, a database hang would occur; now after attempting to install using loadjava jars for xerces2.6: ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
javax.xml.parsers.FactoryConfigurationError: Provider
org.apache.xerces.jaxp.DocumentBuilderFactoryImpl not found)
The vendor says that the errors we are getting when running are not due to any dependency on xerces or jre1.4, and that we need to "install Oracle XML support", but I'm not certain what this means (I cannot find any documentation on what to install). I believe that there are jars that need to be loaded into the database to support the XML parsing, as jre1.3 does not include built-in XML support, and Oracle 9.2.0.6 uses jre1.3.
So...does anyone have any thoughts as to how to resolve the missing references? Is there a way to "install Oracle XML support", or is it to install the necessary jars?
Thanks,
Candi

Candi,
The following resources should be of help:
Oracle9i Database Release 2 (9.2) Documentation Library
In particular, check out the following:
Java Developer's Guide
Java Stored Procedures Developer's Guide
XML API Reference - XDK and Oracle XML DB
XML Database Developer's Guide - Oracle XML DB
XML Developer's Kits Guide - XDK
If that doesn't help, then try the following:
OracleJVM and Java Stored Procedures
XML Technology Center
Good Luck,
Avi.

Oracle's support in Django

I'm trying to decide which application server/framework I can use for python development and for that, in my case, oracle's support is a must.
While analyzing I found out Django is trying to add Oracle as an option right now, using, of course the cx_Oracle module: http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/OracleBranch.
That's good news. If anyone can comment their experience with Zope, Django, etc I'll appreciate it.
TIA

Well, Django itself is great for development of `standard` applications. You create a model, enter 3 commands and then you have a working application with admin interface. Cool, but in my personal experience I've been hitting the wall pretty fast and the amount of time spent on decrypting automagical functionality of a framework is in direct proportion to time spent designing and implementing it ourselves. Problems like schema evolution still need to be resolved by hand.
My limited experience with Zope comes down to the fact that it is a bit like JBoss but focused more on the content management and portal solutions. Plone is a very interesting example of a widely used CMS running on top of Zope (plone.org and plone.net).
Some companies are using Java application servers together with Jython servlets. You can also now run ASP.NET written in IronPython (www.asp.net/ironpython). These two because out of all Web stacks these are the most mature and as we know Oracle's support of .NET and Java is outstanding.
If you are more into PHP or Perl, Python Server Pages from mod_python gives you capabilities similar to those offered by mod_php or mod_perl - but within Python.

In addition to Joe's questions regarding if you don't know the answer, then how do you know you want the job .......
Regarding job titles:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
(Lewis Carroll - Through the Looking Glass)
And so it is with job titles. Any given job title means only and exactly what the organization chooses it to mean -- "neither more nor less".
Even though we work in a technical industry, not every term you see has a universal, fixed, immutable, technical meaning. Not even close.
My first two jobs in IT were in shops that had exactly the same set of job titles for Programmers --
- Programmer/Analyst I
- Programmer/Analyst II
- Programmer/Analyst III
In one shop, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most junior of the three.
In the other, the Programmer/Analyst III was the most senior of the three.
So, you tell me, what is a "Programmer/Analyst III"? What is a "development DBA"? What is a "production support DBA"?

Oracle-Multilingual Support

Hi ,
I was wondering if it is possible to have a oracle database that stores data in different languages.
I have gone through few blogs which says Oracle supports Unicode characters & UTF8 supports all languages including multi-byte.
I would like to know what are the languages supported by oracle 10G.
Thanks in advance!

Please, review this guide: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10729/toc.htm
It is the 11.2 version of the manual but the manual gets improved from release to release so it is better to read this version. Refer to the 10.2 version of the manual to verify the languages and territories that are supported in 10.2: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/toc.htm
Note, Oracle has multiple levels of language support. The levels are, in increasing number of languages supported at this level:
1. Oracle Text supports advanced linguistic operations for the given language.
2. Error messages and user interface of many tools, including administrative tools, are translated to the given language.
3. Error messages and user interface of many end-user tools, but not administrative tools, are translated to the given language.
4. Oracle Text supports basic linguistic operations (e.g. stemming) for the given language.
5. Sorting according to conventions of the given language is supported.
6. Date, number and currency formatting according to conventions of the given language/territory is supported.
7. Text in the given language can be stored.
I am not quite sure about the order of levels 3-5, that is, which one contains more languages.
Date, number and currency formatting depends mainly on territories (countries), not languages.
Level 7, which is the ability of the database to store text in a given language and do some basic text processing on it, like SUBSTR, INSTR or LIKE, practically contains all languages of the world. The prerequisite is that the database character set is AL32UTF8.

I am using RHEL 5 but could not find wireshark trace and I beleive that you need to have Oracle Linux support subscription to access yum repositories. How an Oracle employee can update the software?

Here is a previous link that could be interesting to you:

You can also install wireshark and dependend packages using oracle public yum by following the instructions on

Does oracle 9i support auto recompile?

Our DB will be downgrade from 10g to 9i.
I need to know oracle 9i support auto recompile or not, but I can't find the information about this.
Can someone help me to find this answer?

when you execute a procedure (not standalone I hope,... if so you should considering moving them into packages) then it will be compiled if it is invalid.
If you use 10g specific functionality, you will need to adjust your code appropriately.

Oracle XE supported on x64

Is oracle xe supported on x64 windows 7 ?

Hello,
Oracle 10gXE is not certified on Windows 7. So far, only Oracle *11gR2* is certified on this platform.
You may try to install Oracle 10gXE on Vista compatibility mode.
Else, Oracle 10gXE is delivered for Windows 32 bit. I've never tried to install it on 64 bit. It may work.
Hope this help.
Best regards,
