Hi I am also interested in this type of setup. However, in the example below I am a little confused as to why the table entry is 1, -3 And the subsequent select statement . I would appreciate an explanation on the select statement. I do not understand the syntax. Thanks in advance Hector Villarreal SELECT a.timestamp::timestamptz from (SELECT '2006-10-03 09:00'||"timezone" as timestamp from storetz where id = 1) as a; timestamp

Ah. Well, then, right, it _does_ have to be timezone free. That's actually the only case I'd use that. Sorry, I'm dim, and didn't understand properly what you were doing. (I read the "relative to the store's own time zone" to refer to the corporate office. No, I don't know why, either. Told you I'm dim.) Anyway, here's something that worked for me (expanding this into your case ought not to be too tricky): testing=# SELECT * from storetz ; id | timezone ----+---------- 1 | -03 (1 row) testing=# SELECT a.timestamp::timestamptz from (SELECT '2006-10-03 09:00'||"timezone" as timestamp from storetz where id = 1) as a; timestamp ------------------------ 2006-10-03 12:00:00+00 (1 row) A -- Andrew Sullivan | [EMAIL PROTECTED] When my information changes, I alter my conclusions.
