Bug reference:      3835

Operating system:   Linux
Description:        TZ doesn't work
Details: 

I need to convert string with timezone into timestamp with timezone. Example
from docs without timezone works OK:

Code: Select all
    SELECT to_timestamp(
    '05 JAN 2000+00',
    'DD MON YYYY'
    )


According to the specification I've tries to convert the string like:

Code: Select all
    select to_timestamp( '05 Dec 2000 00:00 UTC', 'DD Mon YYYY HH24:MI TZ'
)

or

Code: Select all
    select to_timestamp( 12 Jan 2000 04:00 -05', 'DD Mon YYYY HH24:MI TZ' )

but received an error:
ERROR: "TZ"/"tz" not supported

Documentation for my postgre version says that TZ is supported.

Is this a bug in postgre or in docs?
