Hi all,
I've been having some trouble with times in regards to daylight savings in R
version 2.8.1. I have an ORACLE database that R is importing data in from,
for the 2am and 2:30am time intervals for the dates that daylight savings
starts the times are getting read as NA values into R. I'm also finding that
if I open a R workspace from version 6.2.2,the datetimes are getting
converted to daylight savings times. The times are a cruical part of my
analysis and need to stay in standard time. I would like to be using a newer
version of R than I am currently using (2.6.2) so that I can make use of the
newer packages that are available, however with this problem of the time
conversions I am unable to do this. Is anyone able to help with to set up
R2.8.1 to use standard time instead of daylight savings times?
The session info for R 2.8.1 is:
