You might want to share the version of PostgreSQL you are using. 

You might want to try date_trunc and AT TIMEZONE function/operators-

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-TRUNC

SELECT date_trunc('day', tasks_start at TIME ZONE 'EST')

Note: I have not tried this statement

 

Is this something you are going to use often? If that is the case then consider to re-model your query. The moment you use an _expression_ on a column it would not use a normal BTree index.

Hmm... I see....

select date_trunc('day', TIMESTAMP '2016-08-10') FROM tasks

 And I get: 

2016-08-10 00:00:00

I actually need just the date 2016-08-10, without 00:00:00...

cast to date.

PostgreSQL timestamp shows time always.

Any idea?
