I expect proper timestamps encoding store when sending timestamps to
server. To clarify test case:
3. ps.setTimestamp(Timestamp.valueOf("2010-01-01 11:10:12.345"));
4. Change timezone to different then connection open TZ and write TZ;
change to (GMT+4)
5. assertTrue(Timestamp.valueOf("2010-01-01 11:10:12.345"),
rs.getTimestamp(1).toStrig()) - will fail

It's because 3. binds following value "2010-01-01 09:10:12.345000
+01:00:00", instead of 2010-01-01 11:10:12.345+3, similarly will be for
read.

My test case shown:
The result value for #0 is invalid expected:<2010-01-01 11:10:12.345> but
was:<2010-01-01 12:10:12.345>
