I live in Guatemala, and our timezone is GMT -6, but my server (postgres 7.1
on a linux redhat 6.2) is storing the dates in the format
2002-07-24 00:00:00-04 ( I this understand represents GMT -4).
My linux servers gives me the the date and time correctly, so I know is not
a matter of the date of the server, and I checked and its GMT-6 (which is
right) .
How do I change the regional setting in postgres?
Thanks,
Ligia

You can do "show all" inside psql, which will show you all of your
current run time settings, including a line that should read "Time Zone
is unset" or whatever it is set to.
This isn't abundantly clear in the docs, so I'll add some notation
there, but if you check out
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?sql-set.html
and
http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?timezones.html
it will explain how to update your internal timezone as needed.
