How did you come to that conclusion? Googling for "Karachi PKDT" produces no hits that would suggest PKDT to be a valid timezone name. This (http://www.speaking-clock.com/Asia-Pakistan-Karachi_212.html) and this (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/clockchange.html?n=757&year=2009) also agree that PKT is the abbreviation for the winter time and PKST for the summer time. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
