Specifies how the time zone information of a persistent property or field should be persisted. This annotation may be used in conjunction with the jakarta.persistence.Basic annotation, or in conjunction with the jakarta.persistence.ElementCollection annotation when the element collection value is of basic type. If the TimeZoneStorage annotation is not used, the TimeZoneStorageType has a default value determined by the dialect and by the configuration property hibernate.timezone.default_storage.

For example:

@Entity
public class Person {

    @Column(name = "birth_timestamp")
    @TimeZoneColumn(name = "birth_zone")
    @TimeZoneStorage(COLUMN)
    public OffsetDateTime birthDate;

    @TimeZoneStorage(NATIVE)
    public OffsetDateTime registrationDate;

    ...
}
