Jean de Lavarene ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?accountId=5d13abf... ) *commented* on HHH-16675 ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16675?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMTE0Nz... ) Re: Reenable native query OffsetDateTime test after Oracle JDBC update ( https://hibernate.atlassian.net/browse/HHH-16675?atlOrigin=eyJpIjoiMTE0Nz... ) A TIMESTAMP column doesn't include any timezone and hence can't be converted to an OffsetDateTime. This is why the latest driver throws an exception. The previous versions of the driver were assuming a timezone (UTC) for the TIMESTAMP. This was wrong and corrected through a bug fix. So the Hibernate test that is failing should be considered as a negative test and should expect the driver to throw an error.
