You shouldn't have any problems with the 7.1 drivers doing what you
need. The 7.1 jdbc driver should correctly handle timezones. The 7.0
drivers didn't work correctly if the client timezone and server
timezones were different.
Since 7.1 is still in beta, please test it out and report any bugs you find.
thanks,
