Hi Michael,
There is no easy or universal answer to this question. The best solution also
depends on the meaning of the timestamp data.
If your system is used on multiple timezones, ...
- you may have situation where you want to always display the time in the event
location time zone like airplane takeoff and landing;
- you may want to always display the event time in the user local timezone like
an event log;
- you may want to always display in a fixed time zone like a server log...
So you may or may not need to store the time zone of an event to display it
properly.
To add some ugliness to this already complex problem, we have a very nasty
thing called daylight saving time where we change the time zone of locations
based on the date. This can easily create situation where an event change time
when crossing the DST change dates...
First step is to analyse the problem and figure out how timestamps should be
displayed.
Regards,
Samuel
