bare timestamps are stored in the database in UTC always [1]. as far as i know, there's no way to decorate the column with this information, so postgres doesn't have it to do any conversions. it seems likely that somewhere along the stack of software doing the query something is adding timezone information by defaulting to the current timezone, and it shouldn't be doing that. cheers, matt [1] https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/models/node.rb#L290 _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
