Article Number000129287
EnvironmentProduct: Connect for JDBC Oracle driver and Progress DataDirect for JDBC for Oracle
Version: 5.1 and 6.0
OS: Java
Database: Oracle
Application: All supported applications
Question/Problem Description
The value returned for timestamp with local time zone differs between the Connect for JDBC Oracle 5.1 driver verses the Progress DataDirect for JDBC for Oracle 6.0 driver.
 
Steps to Reproduce
Clarifying Information
The 5.1 driver does not display the timezone. (2019-01-01 12:00:00.123)
The 6.0 driver displays the timezone by default (2019-01-01 12:00:00.123 America/New_York)
Error Message
Defect Number
Enhancement Number
Cause
Resolution
This issue is related to the driver connection option "showTimeZone". The default was changed from false to true between driver versions 5.1 and 6.0. 
- The default value is set to false for driver version 5.1.
- The default value is set to true for driver version 6.0.

This is done to display values similar to the native Oracle driver. 

To revert the 6.0 driver back to the 5.1 driver behavior, add the following to the driver connection parameters "showTimeZone=false"

For additional information on driver connection parameters see the Progress DataDirect driver documentation.
