i have a table with a 'timstamp with time zone' column.

when i insert into it:

'18 Nov 2004 00:00:00 PST'

...it looks like:

2004-11-18 03:00:00-05

...once stored in the database.

0 o'clock vs. 3 o'clock.

is it storing in the time zone of the actual server or something? not
sure where my db server actually, physically is.

if so, does that imply that i can translate these stored dates to any
target time zone of my choosing when selecting the date from the db?
