I have seen in sqlachemy documentation they suggest this:
```"UTC timestamp" function
-------------------------
A function that works like "CURRENT_TIMESTAMP" except applies the
appropriate conversions so that the time is in UTC time. Timestamps are
best
stored in relational databases as UTC, without time zones. UTC so that your
database doesn't think time has gone backwards in the hour when daylight
savings ends, without timezones because timezones are like character
encodings - they're best applied only at the endpoints of an application
(i.e. convert to UTC upon user input, re-apply desired timezone upon
display).
For PostgreSQL and Microsoft SQL Server::
from sqlalchemy.sql import expression
from sqlalchemy.ext.compiler import compiles
from sqlalchemy.types import DateTime
class utcnow(expression.FunctionElement):
type = DateTime()
inherit_cache = True
@compiles(utcnow, 'postgresql')
def pg_utcnow(element, compiler, **kw):
return "TIMEZONE('utc', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP)"
@compiles(utcnow, 'mssql')
def ms_utcnow(element, compiler, **kw):
return "GETUTCDATE()"
Example usage::
from sqlalchemy import (
Table, Column, Integer, String, DateTime, MetaData
)
metadata = MetaData()
event = Table("event", metadata,
Column("id", Integer, primary_key=True),
Column("description", String(50), nullable=False),
Column("timestamp", DateTime, server_default=utcnow())
)
