Re: Postgres and timezones

[Steve Crawford <scrawford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Is this of any use?

select * from pg_timezone_names where name = 'Europe/Lisbon';
    name      | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst
---------------+--------+------------+--------
Europe/Lisbon | WET    | 00:00:00   | f

I know and that's what I'm trying to deal with. Given I know the origin TZ  -
as in Europe/Lisbon I'm trying to determine the short name so I can store it.

I guess I'll have to use something other than pg to do it.
