Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
When creating a table with a timestamp date type, timestamp becomes
timestamp with time zone.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
in psql:
CREATE TABLE "foo" ( bar timestamp );
\d foo
Table "foo"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+--------------------------+----------
bar | timestamp with time zone |
another sample:
CREATE TABLE "bar" ( foo timestamp without time zone );
\d bar
Table "bar"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+--------------------------+----------
foo | timestamp with time zone |
by reading the current docs
(http://postgresql.readysetnet.com/devel-corner/docs/postgres/datatype-datet
ime.html) I can tell timestamp and timestamp with time zone are two
different date/time types.
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm afraid not.
