Julian Reschke commented on OAK-3645:
-------------------------------------

IMHO the best way to address this would be to make a query that returns a 
numerical value, optimally the ms-since-epoch. If that would work, we wouldn't 
need to worry about TZ issues.

(Hopefully leap seconds do not creep in instead)

[~tomek.rekawek] can you look into this? The other tricky part is that we need 
solutions for Oracle, DB2, SQLServer, MySQL, Postgres, Derby and H2...

> 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.
