But, as far as I can see, these variables are taken into account at client
level. I.e. I have to set PGTZ=WST for the users who are running the
clients, not as the postgres user who runs the server (I have at least not
managed that, I have tried to set the variables in the pg startup script and
in the .profile of the postgres user to no avail). When I am running windows
clients, (ipgsql and a couple of things I have written in Delphi) they don't
seem to care about the time zone. Is it any way I can tell the pgodbc driver
or the pglibs on Windows pcs which time zone to use when connecting to the
server?

best regards
