The IANA timezone crew continues to chip away at their project of removing timezone abbreviations that have no real-world currency from their database. The tzdata2017a update removes all such abbreviations for South American zones, as well as much of the Pacific. This breaks some test cases in timestamptz.sql that were expecting America/Santiago and America/Caracas to have non-numeric abbreviations. The test cases involving America/Santiago seem to have selected that zone more or less at random, so just replace it with America/New_York, which is of similar longitude. The cases involving America/Caracas are harder since they were chosen to test a time-varying zone abbreviation around a point where it changed meaning in the backwards direction. Fortunately, Europe/Moscow has a similar case in 2014, and the MSK/MSD abbreviations are well enough attested that IANA seems unlikely to decide to remove them from the database in future. With these changes, this regression test should pass when using any IANA zone database from 2015 or later. One could wish that there were a few years more daylight on how out-of-date your zone database can be ... but really the --with-system-tzdata option is only meant for use on platforms where the zone database is kept up-to-date pretty faithfully, so I do not think this is a big objection.

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. 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/.
