Setting it to MDT gave this error: LOG: unrecognized time zone name: "MDT" FATAL: invalid value for parameter "timezone": "MDT" http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/datetime-keywords.html#DATETIME-TIMEZONE-TABLE (MDT is listed there) Anyhow, I commented out "timezone" and the time is correct now. --- CSN <cool_screen_name90001@yahoo.com> wrote: > How do I update pg's date?
