Default Autonomous Database Time Zone
The default Autonomous Database time zone is Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and by default calls to SYSDATE and SYSTIMESTAMP return the date and time in UTC.
In order to change database time zone, you can run the following statement.
This example sets the database time zone to UTC-5.
ALTER DATABASE SET TIME_ZONE='-05:00';
Note:
ALTER DATABASE SET TIME_ZONE='-05:00';
Note:
You must restart the Autonomous Database instance for the change to take effect.
After you set the database time zone, by default SYSDATE and SYSTIMESTAMP continue to return date and time in UTC (SYSDATE_AT_DBTIMEZONE is FALSE by default). If you set SYSDATE_AT_DBTIMEZONE to TRUE in a session, SYSDATE and SYSTIMESTAMP return the database time zone.
