I am building a multi language database (SQL 2008 R2), therefore users from different time zones could be using it. Users will have a local Db (SQLLite) on their smartphone).

I need to synchronise rows between the device and the production database.

I was thinking if using a UTC datetime instead of a timestamp to synchronise my rows. I was wondering if anyone had views on this or other means?
