Hi All,

I have been searching around for way to map the corresponding java data type that support timezone to multiple targetted DB (Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server).

Though i read that java ZonedDateTime has lots of pros that improves from the previous java.util.Date, not much information could be searchable regarding the eclipselink mapping for ZonedDateTime to the database column that supports timezone information.

From this eclipselink Database support link:
https://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/documentation/2.7/concepts/app_tl_ext001.htm

i could see the data type supported, yet no corresponding java data type is mentioned.
Would it be a table that could map the corresponding database data type to the corresponding java data type ?

Thanks,
See Khim

The DatabasePlatform and various subclasses define the java type -> DB column type mappings, see the buildFieldTypes method within. As far as I'm aware, there is no support for the ZonedDateTime java type.

Conversion might require additional changes though, which you might want to check out how the java.util.Calendar java type is handled on the various platforms as a template.
