I am wondering about the date and time services in the FB engine,
when the timezone is changed on the server hosting the FB engine.

Using
a. FB 1.5.1.4481 on MS Server 2003 running as a sevice with Guardian
also running.
b. Win2K client with IBO 4.3Aa and delphi

An application asks the FB server for the FB CURRENT_TIMESTAMP and
displays it.

On the server change the timezone to shift it several hours on the
same day. During this leave the FB server running.

Back on the client ask for the FB Engine Current_Timestamp. It shows
time for the previous timezone setting.

On the server stop and restart the FB engine.

Back on the client ask for the FB Engine Current_Timestamp. It shows
time for the new timezone setting.

Is this intended behaviour?

Changing the time only on the server is handled by the FB engine as
expected. I have not tested the case when the timezone changes
naturally.

Thanks,

Russell Belding
