I store the date based upon the timezone the database server sits in. Then for each location I store the timezone information and do date/time differencing when displaying things for the user to see. What I use is a combination of things within Oracle and some ColdFusion. This in turn takes into account DSTs as well as allows me to have a system that should work if the DB ever were to be moved to another timezone for some reason.
