How do I handle such thing most efficiently? Should I report them at all?

Did change the following in hu.dwim.rdbms/source/oracle/conversion.lisp
(dunno if this does more harm than good without unit tests but atleast the error is gone)


(def function make-timezone (hours minutes)
  (let ((offset-in-sec (* (+ (* 60 hours) minutes) 60)))
    (if (and (= minutes 0)
             (= hours 0))
        +utc-zone+
        (local-time::make-timezone
     :subzones `((,offset-in-sec nil "anonymous" nil nil))
     :name "anonymous"
     :loaded t))))

to     

(def function make-timezone-old (hours minutes)
  (let ((offset-in-sec (* (+ (* 60 hours) minutes) 60)))
    (if (and (= minutes 0)
             (= hours 0))
        +utc-zone+
    (local-time::make-timezone
     :subzones (make-array 1 :initial-contents
                   (list (local-time::make-subzone
                      :offset offset-in-sec)))
     :name "anonymous"
     :loaded t))))


to get rid of:
