I'd just like to format it independent of my DateStyle. Some timestamp parts may be formatted this way.

For instance I can format ISO date with to_char( dt, 'YYYY-MM-DD'), and ISO time with to_char( dt, 'HH24:MI:SS') as well. I'd just like to find the format pattern for the ISO time zone (numeric).

Hmm - we don't seem to support those codes (TZH, TZM) for some reason.

But it seems the developers know about it:

If you know a little bit of "C" then you should be able to submit a patch for this without too much trouble.


For the moment, you'll have to use extract() to pick out the bit(s) you need:
  to_char(extract(timezone_hour from current_timestamp), 'S00');
