Hi Cat,
As per my previous mail, i've done few checks on the postgres timezone
files but not sure if am looking at the right file.
I'll paste the details again below .
1) Checked the *postgresql.conf file* and the *timezone *parameter is
set as "*unknown*".
2)
*/local/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql80-pgcrypto/work/postgresql-8.0.9/src/timezone/data
$ grep 2007 australasia*
Rule AS 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 -
Rule AT 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 -
Rule AV 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 -
Rule AN 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00s 0 -
Rule LH 2007 max - Mar lastSun 2:00 0 -
*/local/pkgsrc/databases/postgresql80-pgcrypto/work/postgresql-8.0.9/src/timezone/data
$ grep 2008 australasia*
No results
From 2008, the DST ends on first Sunday of April and not on the last
Sun of March.
Thanks

Hi Tom,
We have different databases with different versions.
I checked the database with *version 8.2.4* by running the below query
echo select timestamp with time zone \'epoch\' + 1206970200 \* INTERVAL
\'1 second\'\; | psql template1
?column?
---------------------------
2008-03-31 23:00:00+09:30
(1 row)
This shows the wrong date. The actual result should be *2008-04-01
00:00:00+10:30 *
I believe postgres comes with its own timezone info. Check if the stuff
it has has the right timezone information. Personally I get it to use
the system timezone definitions so that I can keep things upto-date
easier.
