How date datatype values are stored in oracle DB

3405918Feb 28 2017 — edited Feb 28 2017

Hi,

I am confused about how date datatype values actually gets stored in oracle database. If i send date in some timezone(though date type doesn't contain TZ but date corresponding to some TZ e.g. 28.02.2017 15:30:00 IST) so in acutal hardware which date is stored ? is it 28.02.2017 15:30:00 as per what i sent or 28.02.2017 10:00:00 the time on UTC.

I found in my analysis that dbtimezone is considered to store the dates irrespective of what time you are sending. If this holds true on hardware 28.02.2017 10:00:00 date must be stored.

Please advise.
