To be sure, is the intent of the server's

timezone = UTC

config parameter, not to provide a hint to the clients about which
implicit timezone it treats zone-less strings as?


I have not dug in but am speculating that in the protocol some
indication of implicit tz may be provided.

Then again it may have no such intent at the client/connection level and
only be used for database date/time functions calculated against storage(?).
