If I don't specify time zone either in config or using "SET TimeZone"
first, "SET TimeZone" inside a transaction isn't rolled back. System
time zone is actually Europe/Moscow. Here's an example:
fduch@~=# SELECT current_setting('TimeZone'), now();
current_setting | now
-----------------+-------------------------------
unknown | 2005-02-14 15:03:41.972955+03
(1 row)
fduch@~=# BEGIN ; SET TimeZone TO 'America/New_York'; SELECT current_setting('TimeZone'), now();
BEGIN
SET
current_setting | now
------------------+-------------------------------
America/New_York | 2005-02-14 07:03:46.982974-05
(1 row)
fduch@~*=# ROLLBACK ; SELECT current_setting('TimeZone'), now();
ROLLBACK
current_setting | now
------------------+------------------------------
America/New_York | 2005-02-14 07:03:51.34979-05
(1 row)
However, with explicit initial time zone, it get rolled back okay:
fduch@~=# SET TimeZone TO 'Europe/Moscow'; SELECT current_setting('TimeZone'), now();
SET
current_setting | now
-----------------+-------------------------------
Europe/Moscow | 2005-02-14 15:03:55.552894+03
(1 row)
fduch@~=# BEGIN ; SET TimeZone TO 'America/New_York'; SELECT current_setting('TimeZone'), now();
BEGIN
SET
current_setting | now
------------------+-------------------------------
America/New_York | 2005-02-14 07:03:59.891249-05
(1 row)
fduch@~*=# ROLLBACK ; SELECT current_setting('TimeZone'), now();
ROLLBACK
current_setting | now
-----------------+------------------------------
Europe/Moscow | 2005-02-14 15:04:06.67614+03
(1 row)
fduch@~=# SELECT version();
version
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
