The documentation you're looking at on postgresql.org is for the libpq C driver (which is written and maintained as part of core PostgreSQL), not for the Go driver that's at github.com/lib/pq. For my part, it doesn't seem like a good idea for the Go driver to deviate in this way, but you'd have to talk to the author of it about that, not us. Then again, that git repo also says at the bottom that it's not actively being developed and recommends a different Go driver be used. > Elsewhere in the docs, the PGTZ environment variable can be used to set the > timezone on the client. This is true, for the libpq driver. I don't know about the Go driver. > I would expect to see "timezone" (and anything else that can be configured) > in that list. 'timezone' isn't accepted by libpq, which is what our documentation is referring to. Thanks, Stephen
