I'm working on a problem in the JDBC driver that's related to timezones. How does PostgreSQL handle timezones in the FE/BE protocol exactly? When a client sends a time or timestamp value to the server via the FE/BE protocol, should that be: 1) a value in the client's timezone? 2) a value in the server's timezone? 3) a value in a common frame of reference (GMT/UTC)? 4) any value with an explicit timezone? And how should a time or timestamp value returned by the server be interpreted in the client interface? And how does this all depend on the timezone setting of the server?
