i am trying to put datetimes in with exposed.. .. my local timezone is `Europe/Berlin`  so i tried converting them like so
```ISODateTimeFormat.dateTimeParser().parseDateTime(dateString).withZone(DateTimeZone.UTC)```
and logging shows me the field should be `2020-03-18T16:17:00.000Z` but when i look into the database i see `2020-03-18 17:17:00`

this looks almost as if exposed converts to the local timezone and then discards the timezone info (or `DATETIME`  has no timezone info?)

how can i make sure i save stuff as `UTC` always ?

Set the TimeZone default to UTC first thing in your main method
