Actually I want the server to behave in the time zone 'BRST' (this is already configured). But the machine where the dump was done was with a time zone that is -2 from GMT! So I need to restore this dump in my server, but maintain the 00:00:00 at the hour part! Is there a way??? -----Mensagem original----- De: Brandon Aiken [mailto:BAiken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Enviada em: quinta-feira, 21 de dezembro de 2006 14:00 Para: rodrigo.sakai@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx; Postgres general mailing list Assunto: RE: [GENERAL] RESTORING A DATABASE WITH DIFFERENT TIMEZONES '2006-12-20 00:00:00-02' and '2006-12-19 23:00:00-03' *are* the same time. You *did* preserve it. Is your application unaware of timezone? If you want the server to behave like it's in a different time zone that where it actually is, configure the locale in postgresql.conf. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/runtime-config-client.htm l#GUC-TIMEZONE -- Brandon Aiken CS/IT Systems Engineer ________________________________________ From: pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pgsql-general-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rodrigo Sakai Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2006 12:33 PM To: pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [GENERAL] RESTORING A DATABASE WITH DIFFERENT TIMEZONES Hi all, I'm having some troubles with time zones! I have a database dump file that have the date fields stored as '2006-12-20 00:00:00-02'! And I have to restore it in a database that has the time zone configured as 'BRST' (-3 from GMT). So, when it is restored the value becomes '2006-12-19 23:00:00-03'. Ok this is logic because the difference of time zones. But I have to restore it and maintain the same value of datetime! How can I do it????? Thanks in advance!
