System Configuration

  Architecture (example: Intel Pentium)   : Intel Pentium III

  Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF)  : Linux 2.2.19 ELF

Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------

When creating a table with a timestamp date type, timestamp becomes
timestamp with time zone.



Please describe a way to repeat the problem.   Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

in psql:
CREATE TABLE "foo" ( bar timestamp );
\d  foo

                   Table "foo"
 Attribute |           Type           | Modifier
-----------+--------------------------+----------
 bar       | timestamp with time zone |


another sample:
CREATE TABLE "bar" ( foo timestamp without time zone );
\d bar

                   Table "bar"
 Attribute |           Type           | Modifier
-----------+--------------------------+----------
 foo       | timestamp with time zone |


by reading the current docs
(http://postgresql.readysetnet.com/devel-corner/docs/postgres/datatype-datet
ime.html) I can tell timestamp and timestamp with time zone are two
different date/time types.



If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

I'm afraid not.
