I think http://www.twinsun.com/tz/tz-link.htm is the underlying timezone database that Thomas is referring to. I can't find anything named zinc that seems relevant. I'm not as excited about sticking the info into Postgres tables as Thomas seems to be. I think that's (a) unnecessary and (b) likely to create severe startup problems, since the postmaster needs access to timezone info to interpret the TZ environment variable, but it can't read the database. It seems to me that a precalculated timezone table is plenty good enough. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
