hi everyone, once again am here to ask for your help, am having a discrepancy in my data, am in manila but my oracle and web servers are in the usa, and whenever i try to insert data into a date field (which i had set to default sysdate), the date of course that goes into the field is about 12 hrs wrong, anyone out there have any ideas how to resolve this? will i have to pass the date from the client side back to the server side? is there any other way? thanks all
