Bug reference:      1525
Logged by:          François LECOMTE

Description:        wrong time when getting timestamp from date field
Details:

Problem when getting a Java Timestamp object on a DATE database field.
With driver pg74jdbc3.jar : hours, minutes, seconds and millis have zero
values (ex : "2003-09-10 00:00:00.0") in the Timestamp object, no problem.
With driver postgresql-8.0-310.jdbc3.jar (same database, same table, same
record) : we get 1 hour and zero minutes, seconds and millis ! ("2003-09-10
01:00:00.0")
Maybe UTC time ? but suerly a bug...

There is a known bug in the 8.0 jdbc driver when the client and server are=
=20
in different timezones.  Is that the case here?
