Please note where the above-cited reference says The precise format and semantics of additional strings is implementation dependent. The paragraphs following that get even vaguer. In particular, while the standard clearly envisions that non-numeric zone ids should be equivalent to some numeric zone id, the mapping between them is not specified. Hence it's impossible to determine validity, let alone test equality, except by reference to some specific implementation's behavior. I really think this is something we shouldn't touch, at least not till standard practices emerge. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
