How to store date and time in PostgreSQL?
Any strategy for storing date-and-time data in PostgreSQL should, IMO, rely on these two points: Your solution should never depend on the server or client timezone setting. Currently, PostgreSQL (as most databases) doesn’t have a datatype to store a full date-and-time with timezone.
What does it mean to change timestamp in PostgreSQL?
It means that when you change the timezone of your database server, the timestamp value stored in the database will not change automatically. The timestamptz datatype is the timestamp with the time zone. The timestamptz datatype is a time zone-aware date and time data type. PostgreSQL stores the timestamptz in UTC value.
How many bytes do you need for time in PostgreSQL?

For example: PostgreSQL actually accepts almost any reasonable TIME format including SQL-compatible, ISO 8601, etc.
