PostgreSQL Timezone was Re: [NCLUG] Daylight Saving Time, and free unices

[Evelyn Mitchell]

Hi Bill

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/runtime-config.html

16.4.8.2. Locale and Formatting

timezone (string)

    Sets the time zone for displaying and interpreting time stamps. The
    default is 'unknown', which means to use whatever the system
    environment specifies as the time zone. See Section 8.5 for more
    information.
