Does Oracle7/8 know about daylight savings time and/or universal coordinated time.

We have a customer where the database is running on a VMS server that is in standard time. However the client PC's are in daylight savings time. The customer wants the timestamps stored in standard time and excepts the client applications (I assume through SQL*Net) to be able to retrieve the standard time dates and times, and convert them to daylight savings time.

I see nothing in any documentation or the Oracle Web site that discusses this topic.

I don't believe that Oracle handles this, but, I need confirmation of this for my customer. Received on Thu Jan 22 1998 - 00:00:00 CST
