Hello,
I am a bit sorry to come back on that topic but I just cannot get it right. How comes that
select now() at time zone 'EST'
returns
"2006-10-04 15:59:26.713623"
when it is actually 16:59 on the east coast? Can it be that the server where the PostgreSQL database is located is not properly configured?
Many thanks
Jean
