Re: dealing with time across national boundaries

If a client is allowed to enter her/his own timestamp you should always record
*when* this timestamp was entered in the clients' (!) time.



Then you save in your database this difference plus the server's (!) sysdate
which will be a normalized time base then. It never matters again which time
they set their PCs to.
