Since the OP has apparently already managed to get updated tzdata files installed on his system, he could just copy them into /usr/share/postgresql/timezone --- anything using zic should be a compatible file format. The lack-of-ARST-on-input problem can be addressed by mucking with /usr/share/postgresql/timezonesets/Default, if you're using 8.2. In earlier versions the table is hardwired into datetime.c :-( regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
