i read through the manual and googled, but i couldn't
find the answer to the following questions...

if i insert now() into a timestamp field, will it
insert the local time or the gmt time?  i think it is
the local time, but i want to be sure before i set up
my table.

is the only reason for selection "timestamp with time
zone" to be able to display the time zone in the
future?

tia...
