[GENERAL] Postgresql logfilename and times in GMT - not EST

Hello, It seems that the program is thinking I'm passing a table but instead I'm passing a query. Now, I could put a hack in place, create a view and pass that to pgsql2shp but I thought I'd ask whether anyone else has seen this behavior and has a way to force / trick the program to treat the para
