Re: BUG #6340: to_timestamp() miscalculates

It seems not possible to suppress to_timestamp from doing daylight
saving conversion, I have GPS timeseries that looks perfect in the
'timestamp without time zone' save one value that wreck the whole time
serie, does that mean that time series cant be stored in time stamps?
