Should timezone be inherited from template database?
Hello!
Found that if i set a specific time zone for a template database,
it will not be inherited in the database created from that template.
psql (17devel)
Type "help" for help.
postgres=# select now();
now
-------------------------------
2023-11-26 17:24:58.242086+03
(1 row)
postgres=# ALTER DATABASE template1 SET TimeZone = 'UTC';
ALTER DATABASE
postgres=# \c template1
You are now connected to database "template1" as user "postgres".
template1=# select now();
now
-------------------------------
2023-11-26 14:26:09.291082+00
(1 row)
template1=# CREATE DATABASE test;
CREATE DATABASE
template1=# \c test
You are now connected to database "test" as user "postgres".
test=# select now();
now
-------------------------------
2023-11-26 17:29:05.487984+03
(1 row)
Could you clarify please. Is this normal, predictable behavior?
Would be very grateful!

Database-level configuration parameters (set via ALTER DATABASE) and
database-level permissions (set via GRANT) are not copied from the template
database.
