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.

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.
