I have a java.sql.Timestamp
variable in local timezone with following formatting
2011-07-21 00:40:37
I need to convert it to UTC
I asked this question to see if it can be done by mysql, but received no answers.
I guess I have to somehow do it in java code before substituting it in the query

I recommend using Joda Time to parse the timestamp. You'll need to set the timezone to EST and then get the UTC time from there. You could do the same thing with the generic Java Date, but Joda is easier to work with.
