In Oracle, leap seconds are automatically handled by the system as they are inserted and removed from the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) timekeeping system. The system tracks time in UTC, which includes the leap seconds.


When inserting or querying date and time data in Oracle, the system takes leap seconds into account and adjusts the time accordingly.


There is no need for manual intervention to handle leap seconds in Oracle as the system is designed to handle them seamlessly. It is important to ensure that your Oracle database is up to date with the latest time zone data updates to correctly handle leap seconds.
