Name

systimestamp — Returns a new TimestampTZ object with the current time

Synopsis

BaseTimestamp.systimestamp

Description

#systimestamp returns a new TimestampTZ object with the current time. It always returns this same type regardless of the class used to call it. This is because the Oracle function SYSTIMESTAMP (and the corresponding OCI function) returns a timestamp with a time zone. The new object is created with the time zone of the client.
