Get server time in UTC ?

452507May 31 2007 — edited Jun 1 2007
Can anyone confirm if this is the correct way to get the server time in UTC, irrespective of server & client time zone settings, and daylight savings ?

SELECT SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(SYSTIMESTAMP) as UTC FROM dual;

Does this still work correctly during the hour when daylight saving switches forward/back ? i.e. doesn't hit this problem 1362838
