the timezone argument as a timezone abbreviation, and only try it as a full timezone name if that fails. The zic database has four zones (CET, EET, MET, WET) that are full daylight-savings zones and yet have names that are the same as their abbreviations for standard time, resulting in ambiguity. In the timestamp input functions we resolve the ambiguity by preferring the abbreviation, and AT TIME ZONE should work the same way. (No functionality is lost because the zic database also has other names for these zones, eg Europe/Zurich.) Per gripe from Jaromir Talir. Backpatch to 8.1. Older releases did not have the issue because AT TIME ZONE only accepted abbreviations not zone names. (Thus, this patch also arguably fixes a compatibility botch introduced at 8.1: in ambiguous cases we now behave the same as 8.0 did.) |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces including some of the more common listed below: C++ - http://thaiopensource.org/development/libpqxx/ JDBC - http://jdbc.postgresql.org ODBC - http://odbc.postgresql.org Perl - http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/ PHP - http://www.php.net Python - http://www.initd.org/ Ruby - http://ruby.scripting.ca/postgres/ Other language binding are available from a variety of contributing parties. PostgreSQL also has a great number of procedural languages available, a short but not complete list is below: PL/pgSQL - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Perl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/PHP - http://projects.commandprompt.com/projects/public/plphp PL/Python - included in PostgreSQL source distribution PL/Java - http://gborg.postgresql.org/project/pljava/projdisplay.php PL/Tcl - included in PostgreSQL source distribution See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions.
