timestamp-with-timezone

I have created a little test app to track down a problem I experienced with Postgres on Heroku: http://snippi.com/s/xd511rf As you can see in line 49 , I want to retrieve all entries created today . This would be the first two items of my test data with the Ruby Gem DataMapper . When I run this app on my notebook (Ubuntu 12.10, HP, Ruby 1.9.3) everything I get this result, which is right: [ { "id": 1, "text": "Working on some awsomenewss", "category": 0, "starttime": "2013-03-21T15:56:00+01:00", "endtime": "2013-03-21T18:26:00+01:00", "creation": "2013-03-21T16:15:21+01:00" }, { "id": 2, "text

I'm trying to parse a string of format timestamp with timezone obtained from a DB. The String is as follows : SimpleDateFormat mdyFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSSSSZ"); SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy"); Date d1 = mdyFormat.parse("2014-04-01 15:19:49.31146+05:30"); String mdx = sdf.format(d1); System.out.println(mdx); Problem is, I get an error saying : Exception in thread "main" java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2014-04-01 15:19:49.31146+05:30" at java.text.DateFormat.parse(DateFormat.java:357) at com.karthik.Timestampvalidate.main

I have some data that is stored in a TIMESTAMP(6) WITH TIMEZONE column in Oracle, but it is stored in the wrong timezone. By convention, all timestamps in the DB must be stored in UTC, but this data was incorrectly persisted as EDT. The actual values are equivalent to the correct UTC value; the problem is simply that it is stored as 19-JUN-12 12.20.42.000000000 PM AMERICA/NEW_YORK when instead it should be 19-JUN-12 16.20.42.000000000 PM UTC . Is there any way in Oracle to change this? Do you really need to change the data that is stored in the database? Normally, it's sufficient just to

I am trying to add a DateTimeField to my django model with the maximum timestamp as default value. I already figured out, that the maximum timestamp in Django is 9999/12/31 23:59:59 unlike the maximum timestamp used in my postgres DB. When using this timestamp as default value for the field I get an OverflowError: date value out of range error. Therefore I tried the same with 9999/01/01 00:00:00 like so: start_time = models.DateTimeField(null=False, default=datetime.datetime(9999,01,01,00,00,00,tzinfo=utc)) Now, when I apply this south migration to the database, I get the following exception:

In Order to show a reproducible scenario, I am doing the following Get the current system time (local time) Convert Local time to UTC // Works Fine Till here Reverse the UTC time, back to local time. Followed 3 different approaches (listed below) but all the 3 approaches retains the time in UTC only. { long ts = System.currentTimeMillis(); Date localTime = new Date(ts); String format = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss"; SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat (format); // Convert Local Time to UTC (Works Fine) sdf.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC")); Date gmtTime = new Date(sdf.format(localTime))

I want to parse date without timezone in JavaScript. I have tried: new Date(Date.parse("2005-07-08T00:00:00+0000")); Returns Fri Jul 08 2005 02:00:00 GMT+0200 (Central European Daylight Time) new Date(Date.parse("2005-07-08 00:00:00 GMT+0000")); Returns same result new Date(Date.parse("2005-07-08 00:00:00 GMT-0000")); Returns same result I want to parse time: Without time zone. Without calling constructor Date.UTC or new Date(year, month, day). Just simple passing string into Date constructor (without prototype approaches). I have to product Date object, not String . The date is parsed
