I am making an upgrade from WO 4.5 to 5.1. I have queries which are
based on datetime fields (now modelled through NSTimestamp). Those
queries don't work anymore because all the date fields are converted to
GMT in the fetch. A date which was saved as '2002-10-01 00:00:00' will
be fetched as '2002-09-30 22:00:00 Etc/GMT'. Naturally, the results are
completely wrong.

WO 5 uses JDBC to access databases unlike prior WO versions that used native DB libraries. Unfortunately, JDBC doesn't support timestamp with time zone data, so all timestamps must be stored in GMT. This works fine in many cases, but if time zone adjustments are required, you'll need to perform timestamp adjustments programmatically which might require storing the time zone description (e.g., "America/Los Angeles") as an attribute.
