ORA-01882: timezone region not found
In a plain a SQL-Developer installation under Windows go to directory
C:\Program Files\sqldeveloper\sqldeveloper\bin
and add
AddVMOption -Duser.timezone=CET
to file sqldeveloper.conf
.
Error I got :
Error from db_connection.java -->> java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1 ORA-01882: timezone region not found
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1ORA-01882: timezone region not found
Prev code:
public Connection getOracle() throws Exception {
Connection conn = null;
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:tap", "username", "pw");
return conn;
}
new Code:
public Connection getOracle() throws Exception {
TimeZone timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone("Asia/Kolkata");
TimeZone.setDefault(timeZone);
Connection conn = null;
Class.forName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:oracle:thin:@127.0.0.1:1521:tap", "username", "pw");
return conn;
}
now it is working!!
Update the file oracle/jdbc/defaultConnectionProperties.properties in whatever version of the library (i.e. inside your jar) you are using to contain the line below:
oracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false
You may also try to check the version of the Oracle jdbc driver and Oracle database. Just today I had this issue when using ojdbc6.jar (version 11.2.0.3.0) to connect to an Oracle 9.2.0.4.0 server. Replacing it with ojdbc6.jar version 11.1.0.7.0 solved the issue.
I also managed to make ojdbc6.jar version 11.2.0.3.0 connect without error, by adding oracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false
in file oracle/jdbc/defaultConnectionProperties.properties (inside the jar). Found this solution here (broken link)
Then, one can add -Doracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false
to the command line, or AddVMOption -Doracle.jdbc.timezoneAsRegion=false
in config files that use this notation.
You can also do this programmatically, e.g. with System.setProperty
.
In some cases you can add the environment variable on a per-connection basis if that's allowed (SQL Developer allows this in the "Advanced" connection properties; I verified it to work when connecting to a database that doesn't have the problem and using a database link to a database which has).
