Hello,
I *detest* British summertime. This year it took me two days to adjust. Now I am realizing that my program might need some adjusting too:
Joking aside, I need some advice regarding TIMESTAMP colums and I can't quite get my head round this at the moment:
I created a table TRANSAKTION with a TIMESTAMP column without qualifying "with/without time zone".
My understanding is that this is equivalent to "TIMESTAMP without time zone"? (I am using Postgres 7.4.)
I am accessing the database via a Java client program. The DB access code is generated by an O/R mapper. Client and server are in the same timezone.
One of the things I need to do select records from TRANSAKTION, which fall within a certain time period, specified in days: e.g. 1st Mar 2005 to 31st Mar 2005. In other words, I want to grab TRANSAKTIONs >= 1 Mar 00:00 and < 1 Apr 00:00.
The generated WHERE clause is:
WHERE (TRANSAKTION.THE_TIME>={ts '2005-03-01 00:00:00.0'} AND TRANSAKTION.THE_TIME<{ts '2005-04-01 01:00:00.0'})
Should it be '2005-04-01 00:00:00.0' or 2005-04-01 01:00:00.0' ??
Also, in autumn, when the clocks go back, I need to be able to distinguish between the two double hours.
Sorry, if I sound confused. Unfortuantely, this is what I am ;-)
