when i run the following query
select now()::timestamptz
in pgadmin3's sql window, it ends with -07. as i
understand it, that is the time zone. my computer is
GMT-8 since i'm in the pacific time zone.
why is there a discrepancy - or is it just me not
knowing the nuts and bolts of what is going on?
to tz or not tz? that is the question. i think i want
to tz b/c i can't guarantee that tz won't become
relevant in the future (ie, data may be entered from
two different time zones a report may want to compare
the dates).
any advice would be appreciated.
tia...
