attribute, or am i being crazy?
I've never seen it do anything. I was a little puzzled why you
included it in Entity Modeler. AFAIK, it is just legacy cruft that
got abandoned when someone left the team.
the only plugin that seems to consider timezones at all is the
FrontBasePlugIn when you set external type to "TIME WITH TIME ZONE"
or "TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE" where it APPEARS (skimming the code)
that they negatively adjust for timezone, I think setting the
database value to GMT? (could be reading that wrong, it's sort of
dense and I'm not reading it carefully)
Last I heard from Geert, he strongly recommended to NOT use these
types with WO.
