I'm noticing some interesting behavior around timestamp and extract epoch, and it appears that I'm getting a timezone applied somewhere.
Specifically, If I do: select EXTRACT( EPOCH FROM '2010-01-31 00:00:00'::TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE ); == 1264924800 select EXTRACT( EPOCH FROM '2010-04-01 00:00:00'::TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE ); == 1270105200 Now if I do something similar in Java.. using a GregorianCalendar, with "GMT" TimeZone. I get Hello:2010-01-31 00:00:00.000 (UTC) Hello:1264896000000 Hello:2010-04-01 00:00:00.000 (UTC) Hello:1270080000000 Which gives a difference of 8 and 7 hours respectively, so both a timezone and a DST shift are at work here. Is this the expected behavior of extract epoch, is there a way to get it to always be in GMT?
