It's probably worth noting that both the Ruby 'best practice' AND Postgres have a failure case when dealing with future dates precisely because they are storing the data as UTC with a time zone. This is one case where storing the data WITHOUT TIME ZONE would actually save your bacon.
Postgres does not store the time zone. When storing a timestamp with time zone, it is normalized to UTC based on the timezone of the client. When you retrieve it, it is adjusted to the time zone of the client. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
