I think you're confused. According to the docs: CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP deliver values with time zone; LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP deliver values without time zone. The time delivered is the server's time, adjusted to client's timezone. If you want the server time without timezone then use localtime / localtimestamp. It's never the client's time. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
