- Timestamp values _with time zone_ represent a point in time: values are
stored as UTC and do not retain a source time zone (`2017-11-16 17:10:34 PST`
is stored/retrieved as `2017-11-17 01:10:34 UTC` and these values are
considered identical).
- Timestamp values _without time zone_ represent a date and time of day
regardless of zone: the time value is independent of zone adjustments
(`2017-11-16 17:10:34` is always retrieved as `2017-11-16 17:10:34`).

Reference System field, if that is different from default. Defaults to empty
string. Fixed and cannot be changed by schema evolution.

edge between points represent a straight cartesian line or the shortest line on
the sphere. Please note that it only applies to polygons. Fixed and cannot be
changed by schema evolution.
