This makes UTC the default time zone for all connections. Use timestamp with time zone aka timestamptz and time with time zone aka timetz. They store values as UTC, but convert them on selection to whatever your time zone setting is. If your other timestamp are without time zone then this cast will yield the matching type 'timestamp without time zone' for the current time.
I would like to read what others think about that option, though. The question is about generating default timestamp in UTC for a timestamp column that happens to not store the time zone perhaps because there's no need to store the time zone if you know that all your timestamps share the same.

Interestingly though, I do see what you're talking about with, SELECT now ::timestamp with time zone::timestamp; now Improve this answer.

After specifying the default value as the current timestamp, then we have no need to insert current timestamp value in every insert statement.
It will automatically take the current date and time in the column which has defined default current timestamp in PostgreSQL. The current timestamp function in PostgreSQL will return the current date in the following format are as follows.
Explanation: In the above example the format of the current timestamp is as below. If we have used without precision parameter it will show a syntax error. The below example shows that we have no need to use when we have not used the precision parameter:. In the below example we have used precision value as 5 with the current timestamp. We have used five fractional seconds to define the current timestamp. This should not be accepted as answer.
Says so in the Postgres documentation of the types. This constraint is compounded by the number of fields. Also, small performance penalty is not "NO" performance penalty. Show 3 more comments.
