This seems to work for me: template1=# select now() at time zone 'UTC'; timezone ---------------------------- 2008-06-05 19:08:50.590806 (1 row) template1=# select now(); now ------------------------------- 2008-06-05 14:08:57.278037-05 Cheers. -----Original Message----- From: pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-admin-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of kevin kempter Sent: Jun 05, 2008 2:01 PM To: pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ADMIN] select current UTC time ? Hi List; How could I select the current UTC time ? now() cast as a timestamp at UTC is wrong because it takes now() and says: if it were now() time UTC what would it be here (timezone) and returns that. I want to return 'what time is it now in UTC ?'
