The following bug has been logged online: Bug reference: 4100 Logged by: Peter Coxhead Email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PostgreSQL version: 7.4 Operating system: Linux Description: GMT offsets are wrong Details:
I find the results to selecting the time in a GMT offset are backwards, so SET TIME ZONE "GMT+10:00"; SELECT NOW(); gives "2008-04-07 16:23:28.877908-10" which is a time in the western hemisphere and SET TIME ZONE "GMT-10:00"; SELECT NOW(); "2008-04-08 12:27:27.268616+10" gives a time in the eastern hemisphere. The time zone I was trying to get was Australia/Brisbane time (GMT+10:00 i.e. 01:00 in London = 11:00 GMT+10:00). I think I checked this on an 8.2 version of postgres with the same results (and was mildly surprised to see it still there). Let me know if I'm doing something daft, I don't think I am though. Peter PS I know there's an 'Australia/Brisbane' time zone I can use -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
