Totally agree. We have a weird situation where-in i had to do this and i would like to learn the impact on the data, i hope it would not fiddle the existing data. We are currently experimenting this.
 


in PostgreSQL, fields that are type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE convert all input time values to UTC, and store it in an internal representation, and on output, they are converted to the client's current TIMEZONE.
