DST Issue With JDBC Driver 11.2.0.2 shows timestamp is one hour behind (Doc ID 1330228.1)

Last updated on AUGUST 09, 2023

Applies to:

JDBC - Version 11.2.0.2.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms


While using Oracle's JDBC Driver 11.2.0.2 it appears that when Day Light Saving Time (DST) happens and the date-time/timestamp passed to the database using JDBC it subtracts 1 hour from the timestamp passed by the client to the database.
For example, on March-11-2012 at 3:20AM (after spring forward) if JAVA client sends the timestamp (11-Mar-2012 03:20:00 AM) to the database, the timestamp inserted into the table is one hour less (11-Mar-2012 02:20:00 AM).

This issue does not reproduce with JDBC 10.2.0.5, 11.1.0.7 or 11.2.0.1
