In this example, the time zone displacement specified in the literal, INTERVAL '04:00' HOUR TO MINUTE, is used to determine the UTC value '2008-06-01 04:30:00' and time zone displacement, INTERVAL '04:00' HOUR TO MINUTE, of the literal.

The CAST result is the source expression value '2008-06-01 04:30:00' at UTC with the current session time zone displacement, INTERVAL '09:00' HOUR TO MINUTE.

The result value of the CAST at UTC is adjusted to time zone displacement, INTERVAL '09:00' HOUR TO MINUTE, and the result of the SELECT statement is: TIMESTAMP '2008-06-01 13:30:00+09:00'.

SET TIME ZONE INTERVAL '09:00' HOUR TO MINUTE;
SELECT CAST(TIMESTAMP '2008-06-01 08:30:00+04:00' 
   AS TIMESTAMP(0) WITH TIME ZONE AT LOCAL);
