Just looking at the 7.3 docs... Is this right? Have the docs been
updated yet?

http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/datatype-datetime.html

timestamp [ (p) ] without time zone
timestamp [ (p) ] [ with time zone ]

which implies to me that "timestamp" means "timestamp with time zone"???

Its also quite late here and I'm a bit star-eye'd so maybe I've got it
all wrong.

Thanks,

Tom.
