[16:31:06 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (sad)

[16:42:41 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> uhg ... 8 columns across 5 tables affected by this TZ issue

[16:42:47 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> this is not good at all

[16:43:20 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> hrm

[16:43:33 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> though setting the TZ to "jvm" isn't great either

[16:43:46 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I need to test what happens when the server crosses a DST boundary

[16:47:21 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> so really it seems like storing stuff in UTC would be the best bet

[16:47:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> the problem is this LocalDate ....

[16:47:39 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and its interaction with Date

[16:50:36 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yikes

[16:50:44 CDT(-0500)] <athena> that all sounds kind of concerning

[16:50:50 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> yeah

[16:50:51 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is

[16:50:54 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh

[16:50:55 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> ok

[16:50:56 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> just tested

[16:51:02 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> it is handling DST correctly

[16:51:08 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> when using the jvm TZ

[16:51:10 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> I believe

[16:51:11 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> still

[16:51:16 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> more testing is going to be needed

[16:51:25 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> and probably a fairly complex java app will be needed to "fix" this

[16:51:28 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> (sad)

[16:51:43 CDT(-0500)] <EricDalquist> oh well ... bus time
