This issue is not in your Postgres Driver but in Postgres Server.

Bug reference:      18884
Logged by:          Test Test
Email address:      testtest12423@gmail.com
PostgreSQL version: 17.2
Operating system:   Windows
Description:       

I hope you are doing well.

When using your postgresql driver, i faced an incosistence behavior.

Query: boolean ret = stat.execute("SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AS
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, " +
                "CAST(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP as text) AS
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP_TEXT,"
+
                " EXTRACT(HOUR FROM CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AS HOUR FROM
\"Test_Table\"");

CURRENT_TIMESTAMP => is displayed in my TimeZone
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP_TET => is displayed in UTC -02
HOUR => the hour value from UTC-2.

Server Timezone information:

Java Code: https://monosnap.com/file/4cJglQhT5ok9gTdyakxEmt11VlZFUU

However adding the following property in connection URL, changes the
output.
String url = "jdbc:postgresql://127.0.0.1:5432/postgres?loggerLevel=INFO";

Please have a look at the following picture:

Using another driver, i found from decoding TCP packets that server is
returning CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in UTC -2.

As mentioned server IS in UTC  + 2 and not -2.

Can you please let me know your thoughts?
