The following bug has been logged online:
Bug reference: 4100
Logged by: Peter Coxhead
Email address: pdcoxhead(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 7.4
Operating system: Linux
Description: GMT offsets are wrong
Details:
I find the results to selecting the time in a GMT offset are backwards, so
SET TIME ZONE "GMT+10:00";
SELECT NOW();
gives "2008-04-07 16:23:28.877908-10" which is a time in the western
hemisphere and
SET TIME ZONE "GMT-10:00";
SELECT NOW();
"2008-04-08 12:27:27.268616+10"
gives a time in the eastern hemisphere. The time zone I was trying to get
was Australia/Brisbane time (GMT+10:00 i.e. 01:00 in London = 11:00
GMT+10:00).
I think I checked this on an 8.2 version of postgres with the same results
(and was mildly surprised to see it still there).
Let me know if I'm doing something daft, I don't think I am though.
Peter
PS I know there's an 'Australia/Brisbane' time zone I can use
