Save PostgreSQL date with timezone

Question

When I execute the following query, It updates the date field with time zone

update person set hiredate='2018-06-18 23:59:59-04:00' where id=5684

When I query the same as:

select * from person where id=5684

I get following value for hiredate: 2018-06-19 09:29:59 (in My timezone +5:30)

But I want to execute a query as

update person set hiredate=now()::date + time '23:59:59-04:00' where id=5684

and run the select query, I get the hiredate as: 2018-06-18 23:59:59

Please help me how I can

Answer 1

time is short for time without time zone . Try

UPDATE person
       SET hiredate = now()::date + time with time zone '23:59:59-04:00'
       WHERE id = 5684;

Answer 2

I think this is what you want is

update person set hiredate= timestamp with   
time zone now()::date + time '23:59:59-04:00' 
where id=5684;
