Yes, that is where we think we are heading, the issue is that the code does not know what it needs to be set back to. We have 90 databases with 5 different time zones. I was just hoping for a more elegant solution than writing a lookup table that says if you are connecting to db x then set to timezone y.
Anyone have a suggestion for setting the timezone back to the Postgres db default on a connection. JDBC now sets the timezone to be the client which is my web server and ignores the default timezone that I have set in the DB. There are large parts of my code that I have never worried about timezones because the DB would handle it. Before I head down that path, I thought I would check and see if there was an easier way for me to put it back into the database.
My latest issue is I create a date object and set it to 3am PST, If I save it into a timestamp with timezone the db saves it at 3am PST when I pull it out. If I save it to timestamp without timezone, I get 6am now where as before I would get 3am.
