    Mr. Pando...would you like to take this problem as a challenge...My unix server date and my Oracle date is different. I tried to change my Unix date using 'date' command and after that I issued select sysdate from dual...still it was showing old value...it's a challenge for you...

    Do you have it solved or not????

    Why don't you post the results of the select statement and the !date output?

    It's not a challenge because what you say is not LOGICAL at all, it's how Oracle works, if you see different date then you have problem with your platform and not Oracle's fault.

    Or you are comparing local date with remote server date

    do

    sqlplus

    select host_name from v$instance;

    !uname -a

    select to_char(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') from dual;

    !date

    and post results here

    I did extensive Y2K testing on a system for Procter & Gamble in Cincinatti (USA) and Dartford (UK) and I can assure anyone out there that Pando is correct, Oracle definitely gets it's date from the OS.

    Pando - Close your eyes and take several long deep breaths. It's gonna be OK

    My suspicion:

    He/she is performing all this on the workstation, not on the server where database is running. So select from dual shows a date of the host runing the database, while !date shows the date of the client machine.
