    It depends on how you are declaring the timestamp field. If you do

    interpretation and is not  'anchored' to a point in time.

    Example

    My time zone is currently PST.
    test=> create table timestamp_test(id int, ts timestamp, ts_z
    timestamp with time zone);
    CREATE TABLE
    test=> insert into timestamp_test values (1, now(), now());
    INSERT 0 1
    .....
    If you know what time zone the value was inserted under you can get
    it back.
    .
    .
    That assumes a lot, so the best thing is to use timestamp with time
    zone.


Thanks for trying this out on your setup. However looks like my
requirement is different here.

So what is your requirement?
Do you have a specific application/use for the databases you are installing?


Regards...
