Not yet. I think JVM take the environment variable TZ for that purpose for all java-related functions.
In build-common.xml you should find the following: <env key="TZ" value="US/Pacific"/> This makes sure all current UDFs related to time/date are using the US/Pacific time zone. (Note: all these UDFs are operating on String and Integer types right now) Zheng On Thu, Feb 12, 2009 at 2:21 PM, Shyam Sarkar <shyam_sar...@yahoo.com>wrote: > Is there any 'Server's time zone' implementation inside Hive?
