I created a column, dada type timstamp with time zone
and with default CURRENT_TIMSTAMP
it shows me the default is
default ('now'::text)::timstamp(6) with time zone
Then when I insert a row, the default timestamp value is
yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss.mmmmm+00
where mmmmm is milliseconds.
How do I make default only yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM:ss+00 ?
Thank Q!

The problem isn't CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, it's your table definition.
If you create the field as timestamp(0) [in 7.3, that's timestamp(0)
with time zone, since the default has swung to no-TZ], it will keep
track of just HMS. Or put in other values for 0 for more granularity on
seconds.
Of course, you can always store the specific time and select it out
w/less resolution (using the time/date functions). In some cases, this
might be a better solution.

As already suggested you probably want a timestamp with time zone(0)
column, but if you really want the ability to insert partial seconds but
the default to not have partial seconds, you can use
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(0) I believe.
