I’m using rails 2.3.2.
I have Date/Time data stored in a SQL Server database. All values are
UTC (although the database just stores the time, not the zone). All
of my computers are in the America/New York time zone.
It was my understanding that rails expects a UTC time to come from the
database.
But, it looks like rails assumes that the time value is really local
(in my case, UTC - 5 hours) and converts it by adding 5 hours. Which
is not what I want.
How can I tell rails that the times are UTC and to leave them alone?

Put
config.time_zone = ‘UTC’
in your environment.rb. Actually if you look closely, it’s probably
already there, just commented out by default.
That line was already there, and is not commented.

How are you “looking” at the database values?
