Tom,

Thank you for your reply:

This is controlled by the timezone_abbreviations file, which if
you haven't changed it lists:

# CONFLICT! BST is not unique

BST      3600 D  # British Summer Time
                 #     (Europe/London)
I haven't changed any of the config files.  I can not find that file on
my system (maybe it's in the source code only).

timezone_abbreviations is actually a setting in postgresql.conf. The file Tom is referring to is the file that setting points to, by default that is Default. This is a file in the Postgres share/timezonesets directory. A do not use RH so I am not sure where that directory lives.


I am using the Red Hat distribution:  PostgreSQL 9.6.1 on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat
4.8.5-4), 64-bit

pg_timezone_names shows the *current* abbreviation for the zone in question
I'm not sure what you mean by "current".  If this is not an issue then
that's fine, you can ignore this message.  It just seemed weird to me
that pg_timezone_names and pg_timezone_abbrevs showed very different
results for the same code.
