Start Date question: how to modify it in Oracle & SQL Server

Hi!



In Oracle, all dates are based upon a fixed point in time. So internally a
specific date is stored as a REAL number (which is something like the number
of seconds from that specific date onwards).



How can I change that start date upon which all dates in Oracle are based?



SQL Server 7 has something similar. How can I change the start date for SQL
Server?



Thanks,
