In Oracle, you can use the cast function to convert the date to the local time zone. Below are the examples:
Date to Local Time Zone Example
The following SQL query converts the date to local time zone format using the cast function:
SELECT CAST('21-OCT-2022'
AS TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE)
FROM DUAL;Output
21-OCT-22 12.00.00.000000 AM
Another example of converting to the local time zone using the cast function:
select cast(date'2022-10-21' as timestamp) at time zone 'UTC' dt
from dual;
Output:
21-OCT-22 12.00.00.000000 AM UTC
Converting date with a particular date format:
SELECT CAST(TO_DATE('21-Oct-2022', 'DD-Mon-YYYY')
AS TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE)
FROM DUAL;Output:
21-OCT-22 12.00.00.000000 AM
