We are evaluating to use Javers for which we will be migrating audit data in to Javers from git .But we want keep the same commit Date and Time as it was in git , can we override commit data time and use the same date as earlier
Yes, use JaversBuilder.withDateTimeProvider​(DateProvider dateProvider). The Javadoc says:
DateProvider providers current timestamp for Commit.getCommitDate(). By default, now() is used.

What's the difference between timestamps() and timestampsTz() methods in the Laravel's Schema Builder? I tried searching google but couldn't find any help.
Basicly timestampsTz() stands for Timestamp with Timezone while timestamps() is like Timestamp without timezone
TimestampsTz() is a representation for a specific point in time. The adjustment to this time is made by the timezone that is related to your system.
The normal timestamps() is more a representation like normal clock.
Have a look at this example:
If you are using the timestamps() function you will also store the timezone that was chosen by your environment. If you are using the timestampsTz() you will not safe the timezone.
I guess it would be good practice to use timestamp without timezone when all your data is for sure in the same zone, or you got another layer over there which handles the time conversion.
Update:
In the Database the normal timestamps() will look like
2004-10-19 10:23:54
while the timestampsTz() looks like
2004-10-19 10:23:54+02
Update 2:
These functions are in Laravel available for every type of Database. But this only differs for PostgreSQL. Have a look at the docs: PostgreSQL Timestamp. In the other databases the timezone information is included in the timestamp automatically.
In all other databases this will have the same output.
timestampsTz() = Adds nullable created_at and updated_at TIMESTAMP (with timezone) equivalent columns.
timestamps() = Adds nullable created_at and updated_at TIMESTAMP equivalent columns.
The difference is that timestampsTz() adds a timezone.
We have a report on BIP that shows data based on three parameters. One of these is date parameter. What I want to do is to schedule that report to be sent to emails with date parameter set to last 'working' day of last month. Working day means that last day of last month may not be last working day of last month since it may be sunday or some holiday.
For this purpose I created repository variable that gets this working day. When I checked this variable in OBIEE it worked fine. However, in BIP, I couldn't use that variable to set default value of the date parameter.
What can I do? Maybe I can set parameter's default value by SQL expression? Or is there any way to use repo variable in BIP?
In case you haven't searched on Oracle support yet, you can only use repository variables if you use OBIEE as your data source.
syntax: valueof("variable")
I have a situation where a table in the database has a date field defined as date where time also is important (for sorting later).
At first, all times for the date where coming as 000000 but I updated the code to use timestamp and when inserting new records, it's working fine.
Update on the other hand will not change the database if the date is the same (but different time). Apparently, while inserting, hibernate doesn't take into consideration the time and the record is not change (or at least this is what I discovered from my testing).
I can't change the database structure to use timestamp or add a time field.
Any help is really appreciated :)
Thanks
Does hibernate have any mapping for this oracle data type:(10G)
TIMESTAMP(6) WITH TIME ZONE
I am getting:
No Dialect mapping for JDBC type: -101
My manager does not want to do the: registerHibernateType(-101, Hibernate.getText().getname())
He thinks it is too much.:)
What alternative can I have?
The answer you provide to yourself is more like a workaround than a proper solution. For the sake of the visitors looking for an answer, I'll provide my view on this:
1) Database date-based fields should be always set to UTC, never with a specific timezone. Date calculation with timezone information is an unneeded complexity. Remember that timezones usually changes twice a year for a lot of countries in the world ("daylight saving time"). There's a reason why only a few RDMBS' supports this, and there's a reason why Hibernate developers refuse to support this data-type. The patch for Hibernate is simple enough (one line of code), the implications aren't.
2) Converting your "timestamp with timezone" to a String will only cause problems later. Once you retrieve it as String, you'll need to convert it again to a Date/Calendar object, an unneeded overhead. Not to mention the risks associated with this operation.
3) If you need to know in which timezone is some user, just store the String representing the timezone offset (like "Europe/Prague"). You can use this in Java to build a Calendar with date/time and timezone, as it'll take care of DST for you.
For now, I solved the problem by:
`select TO_CHAR(TRUNC(field)) from table` //field is the one having type= timestamp with timezone
This ensures that when the query returns, the field has datatype 'String'
I'm storing a simple java.util.date in an Oracle XE database via hibernate.
When testing with JUnit if I can retrieve the correct value, I get an error like this:
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError:
expected:<Sun Dec 28 11:20:27 CET 2008>
but was:<2008-12-28 11:20:27.0>
The value is stored in an Oracle Date column (which should have a second-precision) which looks okay to me. Also, I'm surprised that 11:20:27 is not equal to 11:20:27.0. Or does this have to do with timezones?
Any help is welcome.

Okay, worked some more on it ...
Oracle Date columns only store values with an accuracy of a second.
Java Dates do contain milliseconds, but they are typically not printed. So
expected:
was actually created by a date like 11:20:27,345, which is of course not equal to 11:20:27.0
Solution:
either only use full second dates to store and retrieve
or
get hibernate to create the correct Oracle Datatype (TIMESTAMP) - this is very dependent on the dialect specified in the hibernate config (OracleDialect and Oracle10gDialect create different types).
If you compare a java.util.Date to a java.sql.Date that both represent the same instant in time, equals(Object) will return false (it considers two objects of different classes to never be equal).
Your tests need to account for that. The easiest way to do this is to convert the dates to UNIX time (e.g. java.util.Date.getTime()) and compare those values.
