I think there's another problem here, which is that he's declared "currenttime" as a timestamp without time zone, but the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP function yields timestamp with time zone, meaning there's a TimeZone-dependent conversion going on. It sounds to me like there's a difference between the TimeZone setting between his web app and his psql, leading to an hour's offset, plus a smaller offset having to do with time-since-transaction-start. > See here for details of timeofday() etc. > http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/functions-datetime.html#FUNCTIONS-DATETIME-CURRENT And read the preceding chapter's discussion of the different datetime data types. regards, tom lane
