Hello everyone,
I am using rails 3.2.8.
I want to change time zone to New York time.
I changed following, but didn''t work
#config/application.rb
config.time_zone = ''Eastern Time (US & Canada)''
config.active_record.default_timezone = ''Eastern Time (US &
Canada)''
If am wrong please clarify.
Thank You!

1.9.3-p286 :001 > Time.zone.now
=> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 06:34:49 UTC +00:00
1.9.3-p286 :002 > Time.zone = ''Eastern Time (US &

1.9.3-p286 :003 > Time.zone.now
=> Thu, 07 Feb 2013 01:35:00 EST -05:00
Above is working well.
Case 1:
But i need to store each records in database with that time stamp. i.e
created_at and updated_at need to be EST, not in UTC.
Case 2:
Also I need store all records created_at and updated_at with client
country time, if one client in NewYork, need to store their time and other
person in India, their time need to store.
Thank You!

If you store updated_at, for example, in the local timezone and you have one record with an update_at of 12:00 and another 13:00 (for a different user) then you would not know which came first.
