Storing location specific time in Database

Question

I have a requirement to store Location Specific Time in Database.
Our Database Servers and OC4J run with US Central timezone. This causes all the "Date" mappings in my Entity to be stored in US Central timezone.
My Entity
StopId-----------------PickUpDateTime-----------------LocationId
As per above structure "PickUpDateTime" is a DATE type field and i want to store Date and Time value as per Location id. I have a utility to get TimeZone from "LocationId".
So If "LocationId" represents "New York", i want to see Time in Eastern Timezone.
For example, "PickUpDateTime" is 2 PM Central, i want to see 3 PM in the Database.
I was not able to use "Timestamp with Timezone" and in some cases we have to use "DATE" type in our Database Table. How can i achieve this?

Hi Folks, Hopefully this will be a simple one for
you.
I need my store method of my Database
class to take only a Record object as a
parameter. How can I use an if statement to do
the check? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, LBCheck what?
How does a Record know how to store itself?
Does a Record map 1:1 to a table, or are there JOINs involved?
public class Database
    void store(Record record)
        record.store();
}Your question is too general and vague.
