How to solve probably a very simple DATE problem?

Using Oracle 9i



I have to compare a DATE column value with a file last modified date
held on a disk system.



In Java I can use the SimpleDateFormat() which adjusts the file date
(which may or may not include day light saving) to GMT which is fine!



My question is how can I tell if the DATE columns in the Oracle
database are also in GMT? - is there a SQL statement I can run? are
they always stored in GMT?



Any ideas?



thanks in advance
