Hello developers,

I develop application for evidence products from
manufacture. Because I in timezone Europe/Prague
we have daylight saving time over summer.

Summer - GMT+2
Winter - GMT+1.

Because FB stores as timestamp only localtime, when
time go from daylight saving time (GMT+2) to (GMT+1)
hour from 2 to 3 o'clock is in localtime twice, once in
GMT+2 and once in GMT+1.

0:00 GMT+2 -> 1:00 GMT+2 -> 2:00 GMT+2 ->3:00
GMT+2 -> back to 2:00 GMT+1 -> 3:00 GMT+2, ...

And now, I can not select from database products from
2:00 to 3:00 GMT+2 and 2:00 to 3:00 GMT+1, because
in DB is only localtime without timezone and when i
select products, returned products is from both hours.

Problem solution is store time in DB in GMT (UTC) and
when storing or getting time from/to DB recompute to
client timezone.

When specifying time in SQL command, time zone may
be included, for example: '2002-10-12 11:00:30 GMT+2'
or '2002-10-12 11:00:30 +0200' or '2002-10-12 11:00:30
CEST' or without timezone, recompute from client
timezone or for simplify use server timezone.
