title: Redshift timestamp timezone
body: <p>What's the best practise for storing timestamp values in a timestamp column. When copying from parquet timestamps are getting converted to UTC but not with other file formats.</p>
  
  <p>According to documentation Redshift stores timestamps in UTC, in that case is it advisable to convert timestamps to UTC while copying from CSV or formats other than parquet?</p>
  
  <p>Would like to know what everyone is doing in their organisation and what's the best practise.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  mc</p>
