Hello,
I am using an Amazon Redshift Database.
After trying to solve a problem with date filters on metabase (the one in which today references the day before) I had to switch the Timezone config to "Database Default" and it was solved. I altered the databse timezone to 'America/Sao_Paulo' and metabase filters now recognizes days correctly.
My problem now is that when i execute CURRENT_TIMESTAMP on metabase it gives me the time in UTC rather than on the database timezone.
I am getting this weird result where i get different results from executing the same query on metabase and on Amazon Redshift directly and I don't know how that is possible.
select current_setting('timezone'), sysdate::timestamptz, sysdate::timestamptz at time zone 'utc', sysdate::timestamptz at time zone 'America/Sao_Paulo';
Result on Redshift directly (using dBeaver):
Result on Metabase:
How is this even possible?
