Re: Will time synchronization affect Oracle?

Something I found in Y2K testing was that setting the date either backwards or forward on 2.6 via the "date" command will most likely crash your database. When there is little activity going on, sometimes it works successfully, but most times, no.

We have all our servers' times co-ordinated via NTP and it works very well...
