postgresql - postgres default timezone -



postgresql - postgres default timezone -

i installed postgresql 9 , time showing 1 hr behind server time.

running select now() shows: 2011-07-12 11:51:50.453842+00

the server date shows: tue jul 12 12:51:40 bst 2011

it 1 hr behind timezone shown in phppgadmin is: timezone etc/gmt0

i have tried going postgresql.conf , setting timezone = gmt running restart no change.

any ideas thought have used server timezone not?!

solution!: did set gmt before , hr behind..after searching around turns out needed set europe/london. takes business relationship +1 hr in british summer time, gmt not!

the time zone session parameter. so, can alter timezone current session.

see the doc.

set timezone 'gmt';

or, more closely next sql standard, utilize set time zone command. notice 2 words "time zone" code above uses single word "timezone".

set time zone 'utc';

the doc explains difference:

set time zone extends syntax defined in sql standard. standard allows numeric time zone offsets while postgresql allows more flexible time-zone specifications. other set features postgresql extensions.
