I am playing with our allowed timezone settings and saw a few strange things. It understands "EST5EDT", but how does it understand "XYT5ABT"? test=> set timezone = 'XYT5ABT'; SET
test=> SELECT current_timestamp; now ------------------------------ 2005-10-13 12:48:39.59164-04 (1 row) test=> SELECT current_timestamp + '3 months'; ?column? ------------------------------- 2006-01-13 12:48:32.765068-05 (1 row) (Shouldn't current_timestamp's label be "current_timestamp", and not "now"?) Also, JST doesn't work anymore, but JST9 does. JST has no daylight savings time values, so it is a valid timezone setting, while EST is not: test=> set timezone = 'JST'; ERROR: unrecognized time zone name: "JST" test=> set timezone = 'JST9'; SET -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us pgman@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
