[sr-dev] Use of timezone in the databases

Hello, We are using postgres as our database and where there are DATETIME columns they have a type of "TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE", and when a time is put into an SQL query (lib/srdb1/db_ut.c:231) we use localtime() (not gmtime()). For many applications this will be OK as we are always comparing localtime, but it does change the unix epoch. If I want to store 0 seconds, here in the UK it comes out as "1970-01-01 01:00:00" 1 hour ahead of UTC. This has an effect on the location table which uses an expires timestamp of "0" to mean permanent. Could this have an effect on other modules comparing time from the database, or situations where geographically distributed systems (in different timezones) are accessing the same central database?
