Formerly, when using a SQL-spec timezone setting with a fixed GMT offset (called a "brute force" timezone in the code), the session_timezone variable was not updated to match the nominal timezone; rather, all code was expected to ignore session_timezone if HasCTZSet was true. This is of course obviously fragile, though a search of the code finds only timeofday() failing to honor the rule. A bigger problem was that DetermineTimeZoneOffset() supposed that if its pg_tz parameter was pointer-equal to session_timezone, then HasCTZSet should override the parameter. This would cause datetime input containing an explicit zone name to be treated as referencing the brute-force zone instead, if the zone name happened to match the session timezone that had prevailed before installing the brute-force zone setting (as reported in bug #8572). The same malady could affect AT TIME ZONE operators. To fix, set up session_timezone so that it matches the brute-force zone specification, which we can do using the POSIX timezone definition syntax "<abbrev>offset", and get rid of the bogus lookaside check in DetermineTimeZoneOffset(). Aside from fixing the erroneous behavior in datetime parsing and AT TIME ZONE, this will cause the timeofday() function to print its result in the user-requested time zone rather than some previously-set zone. It might also affect results in third-party extensions, if there are any that make use of session_timezone without considering HasCTZSet, but in all cases the new behavior should be saner than before. Back-patch to all supported branches. |

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, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download 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. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
