I may have missed something, but if you know the timezone of each
record, why don't you insert it as UTC ? (which means that then you
don't need to *store* the timezone)
You can always adjust time when you retrieve data if you want to see it
displayed in the server's local time. And it's probably easier to adjust
that way if data is queried across the web by users in different
timezones (retrieve the TZ offset of the user in Javascript in the
browser, send it to the server, et voilà).
