I seem to recall some other listers saying that you could do
this in 9i. I'm not 9i literate myself yet, but you may want to
take a look.
Don't this can be done in 8i, given your requirements.

Subject: "Does anybody really know what time it is?"
I want to get the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) from the database
without
having to escape to the O/S or write a stored proc. I want to get this
time
in GMT epoch seconds without needing to know what timezone the server is
in.
Can't find any Oracle supplied package for this and I'm appalled.
My current medulla oblongata init.ora setting is clues = 0.
Suggestions?
