[postgis-users] Local time at (x,y)

[Per-Olof Norén]

Hi,

Assuming your coordinates match, I suppose you could load a layer 
containing time zone data into postgis from somthing like
http://openmap.bbn.com/data/shape/timezone/ (Haven't looked at possible 
licences of that data though)
You could then use one of the postgis spatial operators to find 
overlapping or nearby countries and retrieve their timezone offset and 
retreievethe time using the date and time functions of PostgreSQL.

Anyways, just a thought.

Cheers,
   Per-Olof
