Tomek Rękawek commented on OAK-3645:
------------------------------------
Yes, apparently Derby doesn't know anything about timezones and therefore
there's no way to get a correct value. Falling back to the default "" seems
like a good approach.

> 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.
