In this example, the current timestamp is:
Current TimeStamp(6) -------------------------------- 2010-03-09 19:23:27.620000+00:00
The following statement converts the DATE value '2010-03-09' to a TIMESTAMP value, where the time zone displacement is based on the time zone string, 'America Pacific'.
SELECT CAST(DATE '2010-03-09' AS TIMESTAMP(0) AT 'America Pacific');
The result of the query is:
2010-03-09 ------------------- 2010-03-09 08:00:00
