storing timestamp data
by Lee Geoff April 1, 1999

April 1, 1999

Maiden email from a new subscriber. My interest is less in the intricacies of a complete world view of time zone settings and more in best practice for the storage of timestamp data in computer systems. I'm interested in storing date/time data in Ingres databases which are running on Unix servers. We are recording timed events on Unix servers as well as Windows 3.1 and NT PCs. I have had problems with the apparent miss-handling of data when viewed before or after a DST transition. Can anyone point me at words of wisdom or good advice? Geoff Lee
