I have some questions about the timestamp data type.
Have I understod it correctly that if I use timestamp it will store datetimes in UTC?
And when I retrive the data it will be shown in local time?
If so, are there any configurations I have to do to enable this “function”?
By default TIMESTAMP stores its data in UTC then converts it back to the time zone of the SERVER that the database resides on. There are several good responses to a similar question here: Should I use field 'datetime' or 'timestamp'?
