ruby on rails - Getting -0200 in DateTime from MySQL/Database -

i'm getting column type datetime , comes mysql database.

but can't %h:%m:%s (it's showing me 00:00:00) because guess going wrong here. see:

= debug current_user.last_access_at.to_s

output:

'2014-01-20 11:15:40 -0200'

what -0200 there? , plus, how can time correctly?

note i'm using ruby on rails.

this timezone offset.

it means have setting -2 hours timezone 0.

for more useful format can use strftime(format) instead of to_s
