Re: Timestamp with and without timezone conversion confusion.

it is stored in UTC.

That seems unintuitive. What is the difference between timestamp without time zone and timestamp with time zone? I was expecting to have the time zone stored in the field. For example one row might be in UTC  but the other row might be in my local time.

Maybe the question I need to ask is "how can I store the time zone along with the timestamp"   

>That is because AT TIME ZONE returns a "timestamp without time zone"

Also seems counterintutive but I guess I can aways convert it. I am just not getting the right offset when I convert. That's what's puzzling.
