Hi, The operating system I run (Linux) comes with many, many timezone files for many different places in the world. For example:
$ TZ='Australia/Sydney' date Fri Oct 8 06:15:31 EST 2004 $ TZ='Europe/Amsterdam' date Thu Oct 7 22:15:38 CEST 2004 $ TZ='Africa/Bissau' date Thu Oct 7 20:18:44 GMT 2004 $ TZ='America/Phoenix' date Thu Oct 7 13:19:33 MST 2004 Is there any way I can use these from within postgresql? Those files contains details about daylight saving changes and other useful details like that, which a simple PST or EST won't cover. Or should I simply do all my date/time conversion in my application? Any ideas? -- Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > Patent. n.
