Bug reference:      5187
Logged by:          the6campbells
Email address:      the6campbells@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.1
Operating system:   windows
Description:        odbc driver not returning time zone
Details:

ODBC driver not returning time zone for CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.


 select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP from TVERSION


The same test run via the SQL GUI from pgadmin will return something like

"2009-11-06 10:42:33.944-05"

Mean while via ODBC note the precision on the describe and the returned
value. Expecting something like

2009-11-06 08:00:34.980000+00:00 not what is being returned.

Describe Column All:
         icol, szColName, *pcbColName, *pfSqlType, *pcbColDef, *pibScale,
*pfNullable
           1, now, 3, SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP=93, 26, 6, SQL_NULLABLE=1

Get Data All:
"now"
2009-11-06 10:44:36.583000000
1 row fetched from 1 column.

CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP deliver values with time zone;
LOCALTIMEand
LOCALTIMESTAMP deliver values without time zone.
