I get pretty much of the same (with the respective 2 hours difference)
for EST TZ, on pgsql 7.4.6.
If you do
dynacom=# SET TimeZone TO UTC;
dynacom=# select extract(epoch from timestamp without time zone
'1970-01-01 00:00:00.000');
date_part
-----------
0
(1 row)
dynacom=# select extract(epoch from timestamp without time zone
'1970-01-01 00:00:04.000');
date_part
-----------
4
(1 row)
dynacom=#
dynacom=# select extract(epoch from timestamp without time zone
'1970-01-01 01:00:00.000');
date_part
-----------
3600
(1 row)
dynacom=# select extract(epoch from timestamp without time zone
'1970-01-02 00:00:00.000');
date_part
-----------
86400
(1 row)
Notice that:
dynacom=# select extract(epoch from timestamp with time zone '1970-01-01
00:00:00.000+0');
date_part
-----------
0
That might do the trick for you, altho with a first glance
i think that this should behave the same way as
the without time zone version, but it doesnt.
