Catherine,

Teradata also provides support to cast these columns to different timezones.

     sel current_timestamp at 'gmt' (title 'GMT TIME'),
         current_timestamp at 'america pacific' (title 'America Pacific TIME'),
         current_timestamp at 'america eastern' (title 'America Eastern TIME');

      *** Query completed. One row found. 3 columns returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.

                 GMT TIME  2012-02-20 20:42:49.170000+00:00 America Pacific TIME 2012-02-20
     12:42:49.170000-08:00 America Eastern TIME  2012-02-20 15:42:49.170000-05:00

     sel j from tswz_at;

      *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 1 second.

                                    j
     --------------------------------
     2012-02-20 12:32:40.700000-08:00

     sel j at 'europe eastern' from tswz_at;

      *** Query completed. One row found. One column returned.
      *** Total elapsed time was 2 seconds.

      j AT TIME ZONE 'europe eastern'
     --------------------------------
     2012-02-20 22:32:40.700000+02:00

Thanks,

Prama
