Thank you! So the main thing you're telling me is: when I do timestamp BETWEEN timestamptz1 and timestamptz2 I actually do BETWEEN (timestamp1+offset1) AND (timestamp2+offcet2), because internally timestamps are stored and processed in UTC. Am I getting it right?

@dmytrocx75: To your 1st comment: Sounds about right. Not sure it was the "main thing", though. That would be: Timestamp and timezone handling depends on many things, is complex and may be confusing - currently more confusing than necessary. Dumb people have been allowed to set up dumb rules and standards. We have the misguided POSIX standard above and there are the moronic DST rules (which the EU might hopefully abolish soon) and other political nonsense complicating things.
