The nls settings are same on all databases:

nls_date_format                      string      DD-MM-YYYY
nls_language                         string      AMERICAN

The problem is reproducible with sqlplus running on the server and it has the same NLS settings.

Start_time is actually defined as date, not varchar. But it’s converted from varchar, as you wrote.

Best regards,

Nenad

There do not seem to be any clues in the definition of gv$transaction either?

Start date is just ktcxbstm which is a varchar...

Interestingly start_time is also a varchar defined as

to_date(ktcxbstm,'MM/DD/RR HH24:MI:SS','NLS_CALENDAR=Gregorian'),

For the databases that are "wrong" are there unusual NLS settings or do they differ much from your client tool's NLS settings?
