Why is this failing? You need to add WIT to the timezone abbreviation list to allow it to be used as input: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/datetime-config-files.html Or perhaps better, use the ISO datestyle to eliminate the whole issue of timezone abbreviations. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
[BUGS] BUG #8170: alter user does not accept timestamp output format in certain datestyles and timezones.
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 8170 Logged by: Chris Travers Email address: chris.trav...@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 9.2.4 Operating system: Debian Linux Description: I have a pl/pgsql function which calculates at imestamp and alters a user's password to be valid for 24 hours pending a password change. When the datestyle and timezone are set to certain settings this throws an exception. Here is an approximation without plpgsql: db=# show timezone; TimeZone -- Asia/Jakarta (1 row) db=# show datestyle; DateStyle --- Postgres, DMY (1 row) db=# select now(); now - Mon 20 May 11:39:24.273508 2013 WIT (1 row) db=# select 'ALTER USER ' || quote_ident('chris') || ' with valid until ' || quote_literal(now() + '1 day'); ?column? ALTER USER chris with valid until 'Tue 21 May 11:41:14.58554 2013 WIT' (1 row) db=# ALTER USER chris with valid until 'Tue 21 May 11:41:14.58554 2013 WIT'; ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: Tue 21 May 11:41:14.58554 2013 WIT This worked before with different timezones with the same datestyle.
