The Solaris server sets the value as 01/14/13 22:00:00 The RHEL server sets the value as 01/14/2013 09:17:19 AM Both servers have LANG= en_US.UTF-8 time zone of GMT LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 NLS_LANG=american_america.AL32UTF8 Both servers are 7.6.04 SP4 and using ORACLE 10G database and the database time zones are the same and the 2 database instances are on the same physical server I have no clue what is causing this difference in the way the server is formatting the value, I suspect is a difference in the locale setting between Solaris and RHEL6, but I have no clue where to look, Ideas?

Even the beavers. They loaf around all summer, but when they are faced with the winter deadline, they work like fury. If we didn't have deadlines, we'd stagnate.
