Historical corrections for Asia/Aqtau, Asia/Atyrau, Asia/Gaza, Asia/Hebron, Italy, Malta. Replace invented zone abbreviation "TOT" for Tonga with numeric UTC offset; but as in the past, we'll keep accepting "TOT" for input. |

src/timezone/tznames/README tznames ======= This directory contains files with timezone sets for PostgreSQL. The problem is that time zone abbreviations are not unique throughout the world and you might find out that a time zone abbreviation in the `Default' set collides with the one you wanted to use. This can be fixed by selecting a timezone set that defines the abbreviation the way you want it. There might already be a file here that serves your needs. If not, you can create your own. In order to use one of these files, you need to set timezone_abbreviations = 'xyz' in any of the usual ways for setting a parameter, where xyz is the filename that contains the desired time zone abbreviations. If you do not find an appropriate set of abbreviations for your geographic location supplied here, please report this to <pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org>. Your set of time zone abbreviations can then be included in future releases. For the time being you can always add your own set. Typically a custom abbreviation set is made by including the `Default' set and then adding or overriding abbreviations as necessary. For examples, see the `Australia' and `India' files. The files named Africa.txt, etc, are not intended to be used directly as time zone abbreviation files. They contain reference definitions of time zone abbreviations that can be copied into a custom abbreviation file as needed. Note that these files (*.txt) are already a subset of the IANA timezone database files: we tried to list only those time zone abbreviations that (according to the IANA timezone database) appear to be still in use.
