    Hmm,
    we want to change date and time to a date in october when summertime changes to
    wintertime. We had a problem with an Applikation, which worked with non standard
    Timezone Environment.
    After that, we want to bring date/time back to today.
    The Oracle DBS will completely restored after the change back to today's time.
