This problem is still causing me headaches, I can change the timezone for
the session:
finsbury=> select current_timestamp ;
?column?
----------------------
1999-11-15 06:57:38-05
(1 row)
finsbury=> set timezone='gmt';
SET VARIABLE
finsbury=> select current_timestamp ;
?column?
----------------------
1999-11-15 11:58:37+00
(1 row)
And also for the postgres user (by setting PGTZ=GMT in.bash_profile),
But how do I set the timezone when I start postgres so that dates are always
reported in GMT?
postgresql 6.4

TIA
