Axel Hanikel commented on OAK-3645:
-----------------------------------

I think that the JDBC driver is simply unable to know about the server's 
timezone because that information is not conveyed in the query result. Oracle 
is documented to return a timestamp with time zone value ( 
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/functions037.htm ) where 
DB/2 seems to just return a timestamp without time zone.

As a proof of concept I have added

{noformat}
        @Override
        public String getCurrentTimeStampInMsSyntax() {
            return "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(4) || ' +00:00'";
        }
{noformat}

to the {{DB2}} initializer in {{RDBDocumentStoreDB.java}} and things worked 
fine.

> We use {{CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(4)}} to ask the DB for it's system time.
> Apparently, at least with DB2, this might return a value that is off by a 
> multiple of one hour (3600 * 1000ms) depending on whether the OAK instance 
> and the DB run in different timezones.
> Known to work: both on the same machine.
> Known to fail: OAK in CET, DB2 in UTC, in which case we're getting a 
> timestamp one hour in the past.
> At this time it's not clear whether the same problem occurs for other 
> databases.
