After having a 8.1 driver, the timestamp is stored correctly in the DB. So, it indeed is a bug in the 8.0 driver.

I would like to clarify one observation. The timestamp seems only take the date section data of a calendar object regardless the value of the time zone. If so, a calendar object with a specified time zone would not make any difference in comparsion to a calendar object with the default time zone. Or, the default time zone is always used in PG.

Thanks.
