ORA-01882: timezone region not found

Leandro LimaAug 22 2024

Hello folks.

As the title says, I'm hitting the ORA-01882 error, both on SQL Developer and SQLCL. Did some research and found many info about this situation and how this is a java problem rather than a database issue.

It was easy to find a solution for SQL Developer, just needed to add AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false to the sqldeveloper.conf file and it worked like a charm.

Logically, since sqlcl is also based on java, this should be the same solution, right? Only problem is that sqlcl does not have a conf file.

I found an old post here in the forum (https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/ora-01882-timezone-region-not-found-on-sqlcl-6634#comment_323462165725900199915802481891662801769) with the exactly same problem. But the solution is no longer applicable: the person added the -Doracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false option to a .bat file, but I believe the .bat file was ditched in favor of the actual exe nowadays.

I tried calling the sql.exe with the said option, but it does not work; It seems the compiled exe file does not accept java parameters as options?

So, Mr. Jeff Smith, any idea on how to solve this problem?

Oh well, I searched for a solution for about 2 hours and found nothing, then I decided to make this post here.

I kid you not, mere 10 minutes after posting my situation I just found a way to solve it. Now I'm feeling kind of silly and thought about deleting the post, but thinking twice I will let it here and provide the solution for someone else in the future (and because I don't know how to delete a post).

To make sqlcl use any additional JVM parameter, we need to set the JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS variable with said parameter prior to invoking sql.exe:

SET JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS=-Doracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false

Launching sql.exe afterwards connected normally.
