Hello,
 I'm using oracle 9 drivers with a sun one app server and java1.4 and there is a bug logged against me due to "mysterious" time zone changes in our application. After replacing the app server's rt.jar with my own which featured an implementation of TimeZone.setDefault which logged the call stack, I notice that oracle.sql.DATE is trying to do this. Why would anyone do such a thing???? Is this a known issue? Will it be fixed?

Also, can someone tell me if oracle 8 drivers will have the same implementation? Or would the getTimestamp methods which take Calendars simply be calling the getTimestamp methods which don't take Calendars, since 8i didn't support thie getTimestamp with a calendar (i recall reading somewhere.)

TIA
