Hello PG members, I used 'IST' in a query like this - * (timestamp_hour) at time zone 'IST' time_ist *and did not get the expected output - timestamp in Indian Standard Time. So I queried the 2 views that provide timezone info and did not really understand the abbrev column. select name, abbrev, utc_offset from pg_timezone_names where abbrev = 'IST' ; name | abbrev | utc_offset ---------------+--------+------------ Eire | IST | 01:00:00 Asia/Kolkata | IST | 05:30:00 Asia/Calcutta | IST | 05:30:00 Europe/Dublin | IST | 01:00:00
select * from pg_timezone_abbrevs where abbrev = 'IST' ; abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst --------+------------+-------- IST | 02:00:00 | f This is PostgreSQL 13.15 on AWS RDS. We have the same abbrev for 4 timezones in pg_timezone_names. Regards, Jayadevan
