I believe they're designed to be compatible both ways, I remember that the 64-bit changes in particular were done in such a way that new tzdata files work with older tzcode versions. I don't know if anyone else is testing various combinations, though, so it probably would be good to update tzcode anyway. > However, doing this would mean updating the back branches for > 64bit tzdata, which is not a small change. Heikki, do you remember how > much that patch affected stuff outside the tzcode files proper? There was no changes outside tzcode files. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
