Unless I am missing something here... Wouldn't the time you store in the database be the timezone you set in the config file? If I set config.active_record_default_timezone == :local, then all the records in the database should be saved in my local time. Makes little difference with a timestamp with timezone, but all the difference in the world on a record that is timestamp without, especially when you are having to play good database citizen and share the DB with other applications in other time zones that already save everything in LA USA time because it is a 15 year old application / convention :) anyway, the setting in the config file should over ride any default value that the adapter thinks IMHO. This would be expected behaviour. Not convert on the fly and _always_ store UTC in the DB regardless of any config setting. This would cause serious problems for legacy DB people I think.
