Should do, although you'll need more than EDT. EDT is also fixed:
it's UTC-4. EST5EDT isn't, though, so you could use that (you'd need
to improve your schema, though, because you had char(3) there, and
not all time zones are 3 characters long). But to answer your
question, yes, it works. I just tried it.
