Yes, Elmar, but unfortunately currently the "integer" that is saved for 
datetime's is currently calculated from within Javascript on the client 
computer, and then transferred as an integer to the server.  So 
unfortunately when people enter "2005-12-07 10:00" from different 
timezones, they have different dates in the database.

The same holds for "time" fields. "10:00" is not "10*3600" in the 
database but "10*3600 +- timezone offset".

Hint:  USA, 3 timezones, server in one fixed timezone.

I might think you better take a look at the actual problem.
