Do you suggest postgresql has any other means of getting time except the time(2) syscall??

timestamp datatype internally (which is, indeed, not as text in an

No. I'm just saying that PostgreSQL does not represent or store timestamps as epoch timestamps internally. I don't know for sure how PostgreSQL gets the current timestamp, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was via the time(2) syscall.
