Hi,

moved from support list as requested by Mark Rotteveel 

question about timezone support in FB4.
How “current” timezone is configurred? Is it retrived from system or from 
Firebird config?
I suppose that both configuration should be possible it will be more flexible.
We then can have multiple FB installation on same server with different 
timezone settings.
This is required especially for shared hostings.

But if it can be set in firebird.conf then CURRENT_DATE is not enought to have.
Should be also introduced LOCAL_DATE. Why?
Because CURRENT_DATE will be different of CAST(LOCAL_TIMESTAMP AS DATE) if 
system time zone is different then in the config.

regards,
