Timestamps always have timezone. No way around it. You need to alter
your application to deal with it.

Re: Re: [HOW TO:] timestamp WITHOUT timezone

Actually you could use the to_char function and do
something like:

processdata=> select to_char(now(), 'YYYY-MM-DD
HH24:MI');
to_char
------------------
2001-08-02 13:45
(1 row)

It sometimes can cause confusion to leave timestamps
off, but you can format your timestamps however you
please using to_char.

Good Luck,
Jason

Not necessarily. You could use a view that formats the timestamp the
way your application wants (see to_char()).
