Description:
Hey,

There seems to be no way to store the timezone toogether with a datetime field. Setting the timezone per session is a hack and a bit dangerous imho..

Maybe we need something like in PostgreSQL, like 'datetimezone'? A datetime containing timezone information?
Or I just missed something?

Thanks,

Geert

Not a bug.. Not a feature, it's a request :)

Yes, we plan to add standard TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE type soon

As it turns out, this datatype would help many different industries.

Even 5 years later not available?

15 years and counting.  WL#10828 was added to release 8.0.19 that's equivalent to timestamptz in PostgreSQL, but not comparable to datetimeoffset in SQL Server.
