Hello List:

I have Oracle 8.1.7 installed. It has "includes a fully functional Java virtual machine (VM), as well as the Java class libraries for Sun's Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.2.1. ", as readme.txt file states. Locally, I also have jdk1.3.1 installed. You can see this 2 JVM does not match. I’m wondering, can JUST Oracle’s JVM gets upgrade? If yes, how?

Here is the reason that I brought up this issue: I’m passing Java return’s value to Oracle, Time Zone, specifically. However, the value I can see from Java will get cut when pass to Oracle. For example: from Java session, I have a value “America/Chicago”, but when return from Oracle SQL session, I got “CST”. I want my complete original string, but not the short converted code!

There are 2 reasons that I can think of: 1/ The JVMs do not match each other.
2/ Oracle 8i cannot recognize the string. I don’t see the reason for this. (I understand that Oracle 8i only support several time zones, but I'm passing a string to Oracle here.)

Any idea?

Thanks
