To strive for data consistency (regardless of the timezone of the client) the Apache Superset backend tries to ensure that any timestamp sent to the client has an explicit (or semi-explicit as in the case with [Epoch time](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time) which is always in reference to UTC) timezone encoded within.
The challenge however lies with the slew of [database engines](/docs/configuration/databases#installing-drivers-in-docker-images) which Apache Superset supports and various inconsistencies between their [Python Database API (DB-API)](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/) implementations combined with the fact that we use [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org/) to read SQL into a DataFrame prior to serializing to JSON. Regrettably Pandas ignores the DB-API [type_code](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/#type-objects) relying by default on the underlying Python type returned by the DB-API. Currently only a subset of the supported database engines work correctly with Pandas, i.e., ensuring timestamps without an explicit timestamp are serializd to JSON with the server timezone, thus guaranteeing the client will display timestamps in a consistent manner irrespective of the client's timezone.
