Thanks Tom and Scott. You got me looking in the right direction. In this
case
the client and server are on the same machine (testing/development) and
psql
does return the right result. I tried all the possibilities from the
java program,
"show timezone", "select current_time" and "select current_timestamp".
These
were all JDBC queries. When I used result.getString(), the values looked
right. When I used result.getTime(), they were off by one hour as if
daylight saving were not in effect.
If 'result' is a Java 'java.util.Date' type (or one of its java.sql subtypes),
then it only holds milliseconds since epoch as if in GMT; 'Date' holds no
timezone information as such. In that situation, 'result.getTime()' returns a
'long' value.
How exactly are you displaying 'result.getTime()'? How exactly are you
determining that its value is "off" by one hour? Can you show us Java code?
Is this a flaw in the JDBC driver or is that the expected behavior? In
either case I do now have a workaround but would like to know.
It is not a flaw in the JDBC driver.
