| Type: | string |
| Default: | GMT |
| Context: | user |
| Restart: | false |
Sets the time zone for displaying and interpreting time stamps. The built-in default is GMT, but that is typically overridden in postgresql.conf; initdb will install a setting there corresponding to its system environment. See datatype-timezones for more information.
Recommendations
To avoid a lot of confusion, make sure this is set to your local timeszone. If the server covers multiple time zones, then this should be set on a ROLE or connection basis.
