Hello,
May be a very basic question. We all here are new to Linux / PostgreSQL
Ubuntu Server 22.04
PostgreSQL 15
PgAdmin4 6.16
When I run the following query in pg_admin
Select today_now
From (Select localtimestamp(0) as today_now) a;
I get UTC time and not the IST time, which I expect.
How to change the setting(s), if any, to retrieve the current date and
time in IST?
For setting see:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-client.html
"TimeZone (string)
Sets the time zone for displaying and interpreting time stamps. The
built-in default is GMT, but that is typically overridden in
postgresql.conf; initdb will install a setting there corresponding to
its system environment. See Section 8.5.3 for more information.
"
For a quick fix, maybe?:
select localtimestamp(0) at time zone 'Asia/Kolkata' as today_now;
Happiness Always
