Anyone,

When trying to create a synonym for an oracle table that contains this datatype:

TIMESTAMP(3) WITH LOCAL TIMEZONE

The process fails. After much troubleshooting, we discovered that if I create the table
without the timestamp columns, the synonym creation works fine.

It gives a FOC1400 and FOC1405 error.

Anyone had this issue before?

Thanks,
--wg

Manual "Adapter Administration for UNIX, Windows, OpenVMS, i5/OS, and z/OS, Version 7 Release 6.8" (DN4500931.1208) states that TIMESTAMP WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE is supported. I would open a case with Tech Support.

Thanks Francis,

I did open a case and have since discovered that I can create the synonym via a focexec, but not thru the webconsole (which we prefer).

However, the webconsole will create a synonym on the same db adapter, if I remove the TIMESTAMP(3) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE columns.

So, this is something very sneaky.

Did you ever resolve this?

We appear to be running into the same issue with the results of a prepared statement containing a TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE field:

SQL SQLORA PREPARE SQLSTMT FOR
SELECT CAST(current_timestamp AS TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE) AS logdate FROM dual
;
END
?FF SQLSTMT

 (FOC1400) SQLCODE IS -1 (HEX: FFFFFFFF)
 L    (FOC1405) SQL PREPARE ERROR.
 (FOC205) THE DESCRIPTION CANNOT BE FOUND FOR FILE NAMED: SQLSTMT
 NO DATA FILE IS CURRENTLY ACTIVE


Of course the query runs just fine from Oracle SQL Developer:
 LOGDATE
-----------------------------
 04-09-12 13:36:53,000000000

If you really only need the date-part of the timestamp anyway, you can convert the value in the SQL query:
SQL SQLORA PREPARE SQLSTMT FOR
WITH tmp AS (
	SELECT CAST(current_timestamp AS TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE) AS aDate
	FROM dual
)
SELECT
	to_char(aDate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') AS date1,
	trunc(aDate) AS date2
FROM tmp
;
END
?FF SQLSTMT


Which results in:
 FILENAME=  SQLSTMT
 DATE1         E01           A10V
 DATE2         E02           HYYMDS
