title: In the Oracle JDBC driver, what happens to the time zone when you write a Java date to a TIMESTAMP column?
body: <p>I've searched around, and surprisingly can't find an answer to this for Oracle JDBC. <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4123534/before-writing-a-java-date-to-an-sql-timestamp-column-does-jdbc-translate-the-d">This closely related question</a> has answers for PostgreSQL and MySQL.</p>
  
  <p>Basically, if I have two application servers in two different time zones writing timestamps to one Oracle database, what will happen? Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Edit: I should add that it seems like the value that JDBC is sending to the database when I do queries is in my local time zone.</p>
