Hey all,
Of course I missed a Scheduler configuration on my pretty new databases, so my jobs are an hour off after the weekend. While troubleshooting, I ran this script:
set pagesize 4000 linesize 200
ALTER SESSION SET nls_timestamp_tz_format ='YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS TZR TZD';
SELECT parameter,VALUE FROM v$nls_parameters;
SELECT DBMS_SCHEDULER.stime stime FROM DUAL;
SELECT TO_CHAR(DBMS_SCHEDULER.stime,'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS TZR TZD') stime_formatted FROM DUAL;
The output on my 18XE database is:
Session altered.

So, what controls how the STIME (datatype of TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE) is formatted? In SQL*Plus it's displayed the same as the TO_CHAR version, and I can't seem to find a setting in Toad that would adjust this.
Thanks!
