Instead of "dual", in IBM lingo, i believe that table is called SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1.
 
For example to test a connection you can use:
SELECT 1 FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
 
or yours would be:
 
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
 
VALUES(1) would work in DB2/LUW but not work in OS/390 for example, but above version would work in all.
 
Since Derby comes from IBM Cloudscape, it has this SYSDUMMY1 table.

Hi,

I don't know much about oracle. But in derby if you give the following
command

VALUES CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

you will get the current system time.
