I'm not at my dev station to check, but what about:
SELECT myTime AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' FROM theTable;
Then try:
SELECT myTime AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' FROM theTable WHERE myTime = '19:30:00-00';
Or:
SELECT myTime AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' FROM theTable WHERE myTime = TIME WITH TIME ZONE '19:30:00-00';
If that doesn't work you might try extracting epoch to convert the time to an integer:
SELECT myDate, myTime FROM theTable where EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM myTime) = EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM TIME WITH TIME ZONE '19:30:00-00');

Hi Brandon,
>>postgres=# select time with time zone '00:30:00-05' at time zone 'utc';
This is not quite when I am doing. The time I get is already in UTC.
This is what I have...
date | timestamp(6) with time zone |
time | time(6) with time zone |
select date,time from test where date = '2000-02-10 19:30:00' at time zone 'utc';
date | time
------------------------+-------------
2000-02-11 00:30:00-05 | 00:30:00-05
I get date and time from a remote client in UTC. In the above case (which works) '2000-02-10 19:30:00' is UTC, so the query returns the desired result. I have to do the same thing with time.
So I tried...
select date,time from test where time = '19:30:00' at time zone 'utc';
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: "19:30:00"
select date,time from test where time = time with time zone '19:30:00' at time zone 'utc';
select date,time from test where time = time with time zone '19:30:00-00' at time zone 'utc';
Both return...
date | time
------+------
(0 rows)
This get close (I think)
select cast( ('2000-01-01 19:30:00' at time zone 'utc') as time );
timezone
----------
00:30:00
but when used in a table query...
select date,time from test where time = cast( ('2000-01-01 19:30:00' at time zone 'utc') as time );
date | time
------+------
(0 rows)
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Harry

Hm? Works for me:
postgres=# select time with time zone '00:30:00-05' at time zone 'utc';
timezone
-------------
05:30:00+00
(1 row)
What are you trying to do with the query?

Thanks, that does it.
select * from table where column = '2006-02-10 19:30:00' AT TIME ZONE
'utc';
I also have a TIME WITH TIMEZONE column that I have to do the same thing
with but AT TIME ZONE can't be used directly. I tried several approaches
but I either get incorrect results or syntax errors. Is there a way to
do the same thing with TIME columns?

Use the AT TIME ZONE construct:

Subject: [GENERAL] Timestamp with timezone query
Hello,
I have a table with TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE column. I would like to
query for a timestamp using a different timezone.
For example if a column contains '2006-02-11 00:30:00-05'
select * from table where column='2006-02-10 19:30:00+00' would return
the column containing '2006-02-11 00:30:00-05'.
From section 8.5.1.3 "To ensure that a literal is treated as timestamp
with time zone, give it the correct explicit type: TIMESTAMP WITH TIME
ZONE '2004-10-19 10:23:54+02'"
So I tried:
select * from table where column = TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2006-02-10
19:30:00+00'
But it did not returned the desired result.
I am getting the timestamp as UTC and want to use to build a query, but
I don't want Postgres convert the timestamp. Is there anyway to do this?
Thanks
