I need a timestamp in the server's time zone. Or at leas the time zone of 
the OS. The one that is configured for Postgres on the server would do as
well (in my case that is the server's OS time zone)

E.g. 
  select localtimestamp

will return the server's local time converted to the *client's* time zone in JDBC.

In psql however, it does return the timestamp as "seen" by the server. 

I could live with getting the server's OS time zone through "show timezone" 
because then I could convert current_timestamp back to that time zone.
