What's a quick and easy way to correct the time zone TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
fields accidentally entered in the wrong time zone?
In my case, the following records were mistakenly input in UTC rather than in US/Pacific:
t0 | t1 | what
------------------------+开发者_JAVA技巧------------------------+---------------
2011-06-01 13:00:00+00 | 2011-06-01 13:10:00+00 | recalibrating
2011-06-01 13:10:00+00 | 2011-06-01 13:45:00+00 | verifying
2011-06-01 13:45:00+00 | 2011-06-01 13:55:00+00 | FAULT
Fortunately, none of the mistaken records cross daylight savings boundaries, so 2 o'clock UTC can simply be corrected as 2 o'clock Pacific.
UPDATE <table>
SET <timestamptz_field> =
(<timestamptz_field> AT TIME ZONE 'UTC') AT TIME ZONE '<correct_time_zone>';
There are casts and, more importantly, the at time zone
operator, which are useful for this kind of thing, e.g.:
test=# select now(),
now()::timestamp;
now | now
-------------------------------+----------------------------
2011-06-27 14:32:04.169292+02 | 2011-06-27 14:32:04.169292
(1 row)
test=# select now() at time zone 'utc',
(now() at time zone 'utc')::timestamp with time zone;
timezone | timezone
----------------------------+-------------------------------
2011-06-27 12:32:28.430479 | 2011-06-27 12:32:28.430479+02
