    Wrong Sysdate in the client

    I am using oracle 8.1.7 in Solaris. When I issued the sysdate command, it is returning two different value..

    From the local system, SQL*Plus client returns the correct date and time, compared to the local system clock. But when I run the same query from a remote SQL*Plus session returns the incorrect time

    I tried the following steps in my database:-

    Step 1 :-
    export ORACLE_SID=SID
    sqlplus user
    sql > select to_char(sysdate,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;

    which sets up a local connection, I get the correct time.

    Step 2 :-
    In the same database server system, I connected to database by using @SID

    sqlplus user@SID
    Sql > select to_char(sysdate,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') from dual;


    getting effectively a remote connection, I get the incorrect time.

    I restarted the listener, to make sure TZ variable in shell. But still I am spacing the same problem.


    Note :- I am sure that, I am connecting to same database server.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    sysdate get the time from the database server, presume you are on a unix variant - run the date command and compare it to select sysdate from dual

    also check v$instance to check you actually are connected to the same database, your tnsnames might redirect that SID to a different database
