Certainly not; psql doesn't even know what a timestamp is. If you get
different results in a different client interface, it could only be
because the interface code fools with the TimeZone (and/or DateStyle)
parameter settings. This is not out of the question --- I think JDBC
tries to force TimeZone to UTC, for instance.
