I am baffled. Both PDT and WEST appear as valid timezone abbreviations, and each have unique values, but: test=# select timestamp with time zone '2011-09-29 18:00 PDT'; timestamptz ------------------------ 2011-09-29 18:00:00-07 (1 row) test=# select timestamp with time zone '2011-09-29 18:00 WEST'; ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: "2011-09-29 18:00 WEST" LINE 1: select timestamp with time zone '2011-09-29 18:00 WEST'; What am I missing? Is the parser insisting on three-letter time zone abbreviations? Should it be? -- -- Christophe Pettus xof@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
