<div dir="ltr">Hi Lance,<br>
<br>
Thank you for your quick reply. I am just in the middle of sorting out the OCA with my company now.
<div>Once that is done I will propose my fix.</div>
<div>Would you prefer that I send my proposed fix to this thread for discussion before putting up a PR?</div>
<div><br>

<div>Cheers,</div>

<div>Hi Sholto,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you have a fix you would like to provide, please refer to <a href="https://openjdk.org/guide/#i-found-an-issue-in-jbs-that-i-want-to-fix" target="_blank">https://openjdk.org/guide/#i-found-an-issue-in-jbs-that-i-want-to-fix</a> in the OpenJDK developers
guide. One of the first steps is signing the OCA, the Oracle Contributor Agreement. Once that is completed and approved, feel free to propose a fix. You will also want to update open/test/jdk/java/sql/testng/test/sql/DateTests.java and open/test/jdk/java/sql/testng/test/sql/TimestampTests.java
to validate your change which would be provided as part of your proposed PR</div>

<div dir="ltr">Hello all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am just reaching out to ask about the status of the issue <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://bugs.java/bugdatabase/JDK-8272194.__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!PfwaAm0YA0fsPF3Rt57ycSrQQa42jDtd29tw7t8acqcVU5vrJWY9dFvNnqDjdqGZfFddb6wLj0GbI6KTVM83lQ$" target="_blank">JDK-8272194</a> (as
well as the related bug <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://bugs.java/bugdatabase/JDK-8272194__;!!ACWV5N9M2RV99hQ!PfwaAm0YA0fsPF3Rt57ycSrQQa42jDtd29tw7t8acqcVU5vrJWY9dFvNnqDjdqGZfFddb6wLj0GbI6LVCe_E4Q$" target="_blank">JDK-8272194</a>)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I have been dealing with this issue for over a year now, and finally decided to look into fixing it. I believe I have found the solution to it, however I see the issue is already assigned to Lance Andersen (who is hopefully reading this).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The solution I have arrived at seems naively simple however, so I imagine there is more to the problem than I have considered. How far along have other fixes for this gotten?</div>
<div>
<div><br>
</div>
</div>
<div>Also apologies if this is the wrong mailing list or way to reach out. I am new to the OpenJDK community so I may be lacking in etiquette.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any reply would be appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thank you,</div>
<div>Sholto Bolton</div>
