The default time zone file is ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo/timezlrg_11.dat. A smaller time zone file with fewer time zones can be found in ORACLE_HOME/oracore/zoneinfo/timezone_11.dat.
To view the time zone names in the file being used by your database, use the following query:
SELECT * FROM V$TIMEZONE_NAMES;
