How to see current time in America now?

Hi All,
I am in India and working with local timestamp.
Now I want to the what time is there in America by a select query without doing any mathematical calculation.

Thanks in advance.

How about...

Code:

---

select TO_CHAR(new_time(sysdate,'GMT','PST'), 'DD-MON-YYYY HH:MI:SS') FROM DUAL;

---

... don't forget to replace GMT with your time zone.

thanks for the reply.

but tell me how to find the timezone.

thnaks.

Take a look at this:

Do not use new_time, you will have a probem when there there will be timezone change from EST to EDT and back. Rather use systimestamp and get a gmt time , using offset from gmt which is not changing u can get a time in any timezone.

This is gmt time:

SELECT TO_CHAR(SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(systimestamp),'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') into pGmtDate FROM DUAL

thanks for reply. It works.

if we know timezone abbreciation then we can find out the time anywhere.
Please can you give me the query by which I can get abbreviations also.


Thanks again.
Prashant.
