CurtHagenlocher opened a new issue, #44248: URL: https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues/44248
### Describe the enhancement requested Relational databases Snowflake, MSSQL, Oracle, Teradata, and SAP SQL Anywhere all support a data type which stores both a timestamp and a time zone offset. This differs from the existing Arrow timestamp type by letting each individual value in the column have a different offset and by not being tied to a geopolitical time zone. This type also appears in Java as `OffsetDateTime` and in .NET as `DateTimeOffset`. It would be nice given how commonly it appears if there were a standard way to represent this in Arrow. This could be done as an extension type for a structure consisting of separate 8-byte timestamp and 2-byte offset values, or as a new first-class type. Intervals are a structure with some similarity to this type and were done as a first-class type, but they also predate the extension type mechanism. ### Component(s) Format -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
