Well, you can't see precision that isn't there. How are you inserting
data?
The only way the column itself would be throwing away low-order digits
is if you declared it to, with a declaration like "timestamp(0)".
Example:
regression=# create table foo(f1 timestamptz);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into foo values(now());
INSERT 155060 1
regression=# select * from foo;
f1
-------------------------------
2004-06-21 21:44:47.344823-04
(1 row)
regression=# create table bar (f1 timestamp(0) with time zone);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into bar values(now());
INSERT 155063 1
regression=# select * from bar;
f1
------------------------
2004-06-21 21:46:36-04
(1 row)
