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
