In the above example from 7.2.7 the second column > has no time zone specification whatsoever; You are correct. However, how about this: version --------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 7.1.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.95.3 (1 row) => select now() as "MESZ", now() at time zone 'MEZ' as "MEZ", now() at time zone 'UTC' as "UTC" ; MESZ | MEZ | UTC ------------------------+------------------------+------------------------ 2005-04-25 17:13:19+02 | 2005-04-25 16:13:19+01 | 2005-04-25 15:13:19+00 (1 row) Is that eventually it ?
