I am in the process of writing a small program to illustrate a problem I'm trying to narrow down. I have a
java application which uses a mySQL 8 database and mySQL
JDBC driver for Java. When I read a date time field from my database using my App which is running on Windows or MacOS it comes back with a time component which is correct. When I run the same app on Linux the time component is wrong. There are a few variables to narrow down on.
On Mac and Windows I'm using Oracle Java 1.8 202 and on Ubuntu Linux I'm using OpenJDK 1.8 202
I was about to follow the route of checking if the problem went away if I run the Linux version under Oracle Java - but I have also noted that when I download the mySQL JDBC driver from their website they offer versions for
Ubuntu
Debian
Suze
Red Hat
Fedora
Platform Independent.
So - can someone explain why the jdbc has to have a Linux distribution specific file - at the moment I'm using the Platform independent version and I will try the Ubuntu version as well.
When running the java code under MacOS I get the time component "08:00"
When running the java code under Ubuntu 18 I get the time component "00:00"
MacOs is running Oracle Java and Linux OpenJDK but I've not determined if it's the Java Version or OS yet - the database is common between both.
