Can't , not in 8i.
9i has introduced a TIMEZONE datatype where time can be reported offset by
the UTC+/- offset.
You'd have to build the logic in your application to increment/decrement
the sysdate, depending
on the user/client location (use a lookup table for location and
timezone-offset) when fetching
the sysdate.
SYSDATE would always return the date on the server where the database
instance is running.

Subject: Set Time Zone
Hi Gurus,
How can I set up a time zone for each region that connect on
SAME Database 8i
Case: Database in NewYork. Clients in San Franciso, Paris ..
When they use "select sysdate from dual ;" ( on Client or server side )
They should see their local time .??
Thanks in advance
Tran
