Re: select current UTC time ?

This seems to work for me:


template1=# select now() at time zone 'UTC';
          timezone          
----------------------------
 2008-06-05 19:08:50.590806
(1 row)

template1=# select now();
              now              
-------------------------------
 2008-06-05 14:08:57.278037-05 


Cheers.

Subject: [ADMIN] select current UTC time ?

Hi List;

How could I select the current UTC time ?  now() cast as a timestamp  
at UTC is wrong because it takes now() and says: if it were now() time  
UTC what would it be here (timezone) and returns that. I want to  
return 'what time is it now in UTC ?'

Thanks in advance...

/Kevin
