Issue/Introduction

Hello, good afternoon?

 

I have the next question:

 

Is possible to modify the timezone of insertion of data at tstamp column of HP Vertica?

 

I know that by default the timezone of insertion is UTC, but our customer wants to change it.

 

Thanks for your answer and support.

 

Regards.

Environment

Release : 3.6

Component : IM Reporting / Admin / Configuration

Resolution

"TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE: Specifies to convert input-string to UTC, using the UTC offset for the specified time zone. If the input string omits a time zone, Vertica uses the UTC offset of the time zone that is configured for your system (***)."
