Unrelated to the topic, but I deal with a database storing timestamps.
In local time.
For systems all around the world.
You'll see current entries timestamped 12:28 from eastern Europe followed by ones 6:28 from America and then another 11:28 from central Europe.
Without offset.
Ew. Just store UTC timestamps and do optional translation on the client using whatever the client sets up for their timezone. It's not hard...
