I run PostgreSQL 7.0.3 on my Redhat Linux 6.x
I have to export the system time zone to TZ=EDT.
Then I export PGTZ=GMT
If I insert or update a row in a Timestamp column,
I will get GMT time zone by
select a_timestamp_column from a_table;
2001-02-08 08:30:00+00
But if the PGTZ is not set, then I will get result
2001-02-08 08:30:00-05
Correct?
How do I always get GMT time zone when I select, insert and update?
Should I export PGTZ=GMT before start the PostgreSQL server?
Thank you!
