Prior to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> 7.3, writing just
<type>timestamp</type> was equivalent to <type>timestamp with
time zone</type>. This was changed for SQL compliance.
The SQL standard requires that writing just <type>timestamp</type>
be equivalent to <type>timestamp <emphasis>without</> time
zone</type>, and <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> honors that
behavior. (Releases prior to 7.3 treated it as <type>timestamp
with time zone</type>.)
