Re: select current UTC time ?

This seems to work for me:

template1=# select now() at time zone 'UTC';
timezone
----------------------------
2008-06-05 19:08:50.590806
(1 row)

template1=# select now();
now
-------------------------------
2008-06-05 14:08:57.278037-05

Cheers.

Subject: [ADMIN] select current UTC time ?

Hi List;

How could I select the current UTC time ? now() cast as a timestamp
at UTC is wrong because it takes now() and says: if it were now() time
UTC what would it be here (timezone) and returns that. I want to
return 'what time is it now in UTC ?'

Thanks in advance...
