   Andoni to All   
   Oracle DST Setting in OpenVMS Version.

   Hello,   
      
   Does anybody use Oracle 9i for OpenVMS? Do you have to change the logical   
   name:   
      
     "SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL" = "3600"   
      
   twice a year, when the clocks go back or forwards?   
      
   We have found that Oracle does not seem to see the ordinary operating system   
   time but rather is adding this value to real time (winter time) so we have   
   to put it in place in Spring and set it to zero in Autumn/Fall.   
      
   Surely there is a better way?   
      
   Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.   
      
   Andoni.
