Dear all, Going through the remaining red tests in PharoADO + Glorp, I have a sort of a conceptual challenge. Some of the Glorp tests are checking the equality of dates written to and then returned from the database. Pharo regards the dates as not equal if their time offsets are different despite the fact that the date (in a narrow sense) is the same. For instance: "2019-12-29T00:00:00+01:00" is not equal to "2019-12-29T00:00:00+00:00" The challenge is that the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) library that I'm using returnes the dates in Variants which don't have any information about the offset. The conversion from ADO variants to Pharo's Date is done in PharoCOM package. What would be the best approach to somehow ignore the missing offset or impute a proper value? Of course it's better to ignore a missing data than to impute a wrong value. How is this handled with other DB systems?
