Research direction

Start by locating where the plugin configures ActiveRecord and where database values are read. Inspect the ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone setting and verify behavior with the supported database configurations. Done means reads no longer force UTC when the database timezone is set to local.

Description

enhancement

Hi,

In reading from DB the time is always set to UTC, disregarding the DB setting.

To solve the issue, I tried to this line in the plugin:
ActiveRecord::Base.default_timezone = :local

It worked.
