BTW, I wrote in the commit log message that the posixrules omission had only minimal consequences, but on closer look that's wrong: the hardwired default in the timezone code is /* * The DST rules to use if TZ has no rules and we can't load TZDEFRULES. * We default to US rules as of 1999-08-17. * POSIX 1003.1 section 8.1.1 says that the default DST rules are * implementation dependent; for historical reasons, US rules are a * common default. */ #define TZDEFRULESTRING ",M4.1.0,M10.5.0" that is, first Sunday of April and last Sunday of October. The US hasn't gone by that since 2006. So actually, this change will have a very visible impact on the behavior of POSIX-style zone names. (I wonder why IANA hasn't updated this default? Still, that's their expertise not ours, so I'm disinclined to touch it.) regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-committers mailing list (pgsql-committers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-committers
