I’m confused at how exposed handles

LocalDate

(via the

JavaLocalDateColumnType

class).

LocalDate

does not contain a timezone, but

JavaLocalDateColumnType

converts the

LocalDate

to a

java.sql.Date

object using the local timezone. This means that, if my timezone is UTC+n, saving a

LocalDate

of, for example

1991-01-01

will put

1990-12-31

in the DB. Have I misunderstood or overlooked something? This behaviour doesn’t seem to be correct. SQL `DATE`s are timezone free, so are

LocalDate

s so there shouldn’t be any timezone conversion happening.

Does https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0CG7E0A1/p1613378255042200 answer it ?

Not really, I’m talking about

LocalDate

which is not a point in time. That’s about

Instant

, which is. I just found https://github.com/JetBrains/Exposed/issues/886, which I’ve added a comment to.
