equivalent; but which one is your application actually looking for? (If
Unix time stamps, short (int) or long res, are always supposed to GMT

in homebrew software. So it should be both calendar and P.I.T. And you
wouldn't need the TZ storage if the date-number and number- translation

The docs say:
Here is how you can convert an epoch value back to a time stamp:

FWIW, there's a patch in the queue for 8.1 that adds a to_timestamp
function that converts between Unix epoch and timestamp with time zone.
