I've been debugging a problem we've got where the fetched

after) the date when day light savings comes off.
That seems pretty normal for Java where a day is 24 * 60 * 60 *
1000 milliseconds, not a day like we usually think of it. If I
don't care about the time, I just set it to 12:00 noon. So when
Java adjusts the time, it is 11AM or 1PM, but at least on the
correct day. Is that what you are seeing? Or am I
misunderstanding the problem?
Yes. This is a timestamp / datetime (not a date only value).
The correct value should be 4pm Sydney time. But for this last one
it's 5pm.
Are they all consistently on one side or the other of the DST
boundary? Is this last one different? Does it matter which one is
the last? Is the last always wrong regardless?
It's not random. The last one happens to be just after the time when
daylight savings ends.
I'll try again :)
A list of records in the database with a field called
'endTimestamp' all have a value where their time-part == 4pm
Sydney time. Once fetched, one of them is wrong.
Got it that time. Unless that one is in a different DST vs non-DST
that is just plain crazy!
I've finally found the problem. It's the toy again[1] :)
So these connection params make it work:
...&zeroDateTimeBehavior
=
convertToNull
&useGmtMillisForDatetimes
=false&useTimezone=true&serverTimezone=Australia/
Sydney&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false
The main difference is whether or not to useGmtMillisForDatetimes.
With a previous jconnector version there was a bug where it used the
local timezone regardless and this was necessary... now that this
has been /fixed/ this new issue came up. Fun. At least this time it
should be good for some time to come.
Ugh. Why they don't just have a parameter called
doTheRightThingAlready=true is beyond me :)
That is probably in the next version. :-P
