Rails Active Record TimeZones












0















I have set the default time zone of my application to Pacific Time.



config.time_zone = 'Pacific Time (US & Canada)'
config.active_record.default_timezone = 'Pacific Time (US & Canada)'


The problem I am facing is that when I query in rails console..for example



Transaction.last 


it returns an object like this



=> #<Transaction id: 4926, offer_id: 4926, date: "2014-10-08 04:23:03", reference: "CBRNCUQU", driver_id: 464, driver_type: "User", amount: 80.0, status: "paid", created_at: "2014-10-08 04:23:03", updated_at: "2014-10-07 22:15:27">


The date field shown here is date: "2014-10-08 04:23:03" which is in UTC and actually the date now in PDT is 2014-10-07



But if I query like this Transaction.last.date it returns



Tue, 07 Oct 2014 21:23:03 PDT -07:00


which is correct and expected output



The problem that I am facing is,I want to display the details of the current days transaction in my page and it returns a transaction with future date in my page.This might be happening because the DB saves the records in UTC
Is there any way that I could fix the issue.
