timex_ecto v3.4.0 Timex.Ecto.DateTimeWithTimezone

This is a special type for storing datetime + timezone information as a composite type.

To use this, you must first make sure you have the datetimetz type defined in your database:

CREATE TYPE datetimetz AS (
    dt timestamptz,
    tz varchar
);

Then you can use that type when creating your table, i.e.:

CREATE TABLE example (
  id integer,
  created_at datetimetz
);

That's it!
