Unfortunately the DB uses the timestamps heavily for data integrity.
Not sure if a workaround exists.

Subject: Problem starting database

I'm getting the following error whilst trying to start a Oracle 8.1.7.4
database on a Sun Solaris Ultra 10 server:

ORA-01513: invalid current time returned by operating system

I know this is due to a problem with the servers system clock (jumping
forwards and backwards in time) and possibly it's nvram but i'm not 100%
sure. Has anyone else out there experienced similar problems and got a
work around? I don't have Hardware support for this machine :o(

Thanks in advance

Declan
