Ah! I have not explained my issue properly :) I'm very sorry about that.
I'm using SQLite as a backend to a small website and I have users in
multiple timezones. When users login, their timezone is retrieved from
the user table.
Really sorry for the confusion. Late night.
I'd suggest a view on the data that does the conversion. You can also
use an INSTEAD OF trigger for insertion:
CREATE VIEW user_data_view AS
SELECT *,to_user_tz(gmt_time,user_tz)
FROM user_data_view;
When I need to care about timezones, I always store them as GMT and only
convert them when I need to present them to the user. This makes math
and comparisons on dates easy.
Fortunately, my applications are usually designed in a manner that there
are very few lines of code needed to support these to/from conversions.
