Hi Jay,

I think you hit the nail on the head. Somewhere I am setting the timestamp in UTC and somehow reading it back in local time. I think I was confused because the PG docs say *current_date* always produces time = 00:00:00 when coerced to a timestamp ... but I glossed over that the docs were using timestamp _without_ time zone. After a bit of experimenting, it appears that if a date is coerced to 'timestamp with time zone', the hour is adjusted so the time only reads 00:00:00 if you write and read back using the same time zone setting.

I am using a connection pool, but I /thought/ I was executing /*set session time zone 0*/ (for UTC) on every connection before using it.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
George
