[teiid-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIID-3808) Informix translator - date/time/timestamp values are adjusted differently according to timezone

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3808?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-3808: --------------------------------------- We are simply leveraging the driver's relevant get/set methods. There is no explicit check of the database server's timezone, rather the supply the Teiid server timezone or the database timezone via a Calendar. Typically if the default behavior is not as expected, then there may be a connection property or a set of session property that would make things more consistent. In this case I can't find anything after a cursory search. Beyond this if one would need dates to be timezone sensitive and informix is not, then more than likely the required workaround would be to not model them as dates, but as strings or to have a view layer that introduces normalizing modifytimezone functions. So unless something else can be found, I'd say the resolution here is a KI that cautions about the inconsistencies of the informix driver/server. > Informix translator - date/time/timestamp values are adjusted differently according to timezone > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: TEIID-3808 > URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3808 > Project: Teiid > Issue Type: Feature Request > Affects Versions: 8.7.1.6_2 > Reporter: Juraj Duráni > Assignee: Steven Hawkins > > The Informix translator adjusts only time value according to server's timezone.
