I know there are a million ways to handle the issue of epoch time stored 
in the ARS database.  Another to add to the mix is BMC Analytics.  It 
provides a function (FN_ADJUSTED_DATE) and associated meta-data tables to 
provide the translation with full timezone and dst support.

select incident_number,assigned_group,fn_adjusted_date(Reported_Date) as 
Reported_Date from hpd_help_desk where assigned_group = 'Remedy'

        INCIDENT_NUMBER ASSIGNED_GROUP  REPORTED_DATE
1       INC000000074125 Remedy          04/08/2008 6:03:03 PM
2       INC000000074032 Remedy          04/29/2008 1:00:07 PM
3       INC000000074033 Remedy          04/29/2008 1:00:06 PM
4       INC000000074034 Remedy          05/15/2008 12:47:39 PM

Thought I would share because it is nice to have something that is both 
supported by BMC (if you own Analytics) and useful.
