Re: RESTORING A DATABASE WITH DIFFERENT TIMEZONES

'2006-12-20 00:00:00-02' and '2006-12-19 23:00:00-03' *are* the same
time.  You *did* preserve it.  Is your application unaware of timezone?

If you want the server to behave like it's in a different time zone that
where it actually is, configure the locale in postgresql.conf.

Subject: [GENERAL] RESTORING A DATABASE WITH DIFFERENT TIMEZONES

Hi all,

I'm having some troubles with time zones! I have a database dump file
that have the date fields stored as '2006-12-20 00:00:00-02'!
And I have to restore it in a database that has the time zone configured
as 'BRST' (-3 from GMT). So, when it is restored the value becomes
'2006-12-19 23:00:00-03'. Ok this is logic because the difference of
time zones.

But I have to restore it and maintain the same value of datetime! How
can I do it?????

Thanks in advance!
