Hi Claes, I ran the revised test which passes on my box with Eastern TZ. I know you also ran the jck tests for java.sql and they passed as well. Thank you for doing this extra clean up. I will push the change Best, lance On Sep 15, 2014, at 6:41 PM, Claes Redestad <claes.redestad@oracle.com> wrote:
