If I may be permitted to stick my oar in here ....

Oracle databases allow timestamp with timezone data types, as well as simple timezone data types. Every database I've come across in my day job, I'm an Oracle contract DBA, uses either date (aka date and time) or simple timezone data types.

Some of the internal stuff does use timezones, and it's a right PITA working out what the actual time a job got scheduled at, for example.

Timezones, just say no! :-)

Other opinions are of course available. They are wrong! (Joke)


Cheers,
Norm.
