    So, I will continue to read all the things that U call "CRAP". If U don't want to read all that, pls get the heck out of this forum.
    Hope U got it. Edison had to take 2000 attempts before inventing electirc bulb. So, I don't think U R super human to figure out things at first shot.

    Hello,
    There is a chance that from where you are invoking sqlplus is having OS date different to that of the date set in the Unix machine where database actually resides.

    Eg : There are 2 Unix machines A & B
    B is where database(ABCD) resides..
    A is where you invoke SQL+ as
    sqlplus @ABCD.WORLD
    In A it is set as '5 feb 2003'
    In B it is set as '10 Feb 2003'.

    Then when u give select sysdate from dual;Output would be '10 Feb2003'
    But when you give
    Sql>!date
    5 feb 2003.

    Confirm from select host_name from v$instance;

    I don't know if I am throwing light or blowing light.
    Jus' thinking from a different angle.that's all..

    With lots of fun,

    Any clue on this??
    I believe you are looking at the wrong server. The DB server is indeed where Oracle gets the sysdate from. I just changed it on my DB server (happens to be Windows Server 2012) and on another server where my interface is... I brought up SQLPlus and sure enough... I got the new date. I cannot imagine this is any different on a Unix server. Cheers and best of luck!
