The following example compares timestamps with time zones to timestamps and shows the results of the comparison.

SELECT TIMESTAMPTZ_CMP_TIMESTAMP('2008-01-24 06:43:29+00', '2008-01-24 06:43:29'), TIMESTAMPTZ_CMP_TIMESTAMP('2008-01-24 06:43:29+00', '2008-02-18 02:36:48'), TIMESTAMPTZ_CMP_TIMESTAMP('2008-02-18 02:36:48+00', '2008-01-24 06:43:29');
