Timestamp types

timestamp and timestamp with time zone data expresses a date and time in UTC.

`timestamp` info

Field	Use
WITH TIME ZONE	Apply the tz_offset field. If not specified, don’t.
TIMESTAMPTZ	Apply the tz_offset field.
date_str	date_str
time_str	A string representing a time of day in `H:M:S.NS` format.
tz_offset	The timezone’s distance, in hours, from UTC.

timestamp and timestamp with time zone store data in UTC.
The difference between the two types is that timestamp with time zone can read or write timestamps with the offset specified by the timezone. Importantly, timestamp with time zone itself doesn’t store any timezone data; Materialize simply performs the conversion from the time provided and UTC.
Materialize assumes all clients expect UTC time, and does not currently support any other timezones.

In addition to the casts listed below, timestamp and timestamptz can be cast to and from each other implicitly.

You can cast timestamp or timestamptz to:

You can cast the following types to timestamp or timestamptz:

timestamp and timestamp with time zone data (collectively referred to as timestamp/tz) supports the following operations with other types.

SELECT TIMESTAMP '2007-02-01 15:04:05' AS ts_v;

        ts_v
---------------------
 2007-02-01 15:04:05

SELECT TIMESTAMPTZ '2007-02-01 15:04:05+06' AS tstz_v;

         tstz_v
-------------------------
 2007-02-01 09:04:05 UTC
