The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/datatype-datetime.html
Description:
The documentation states that some timezone names are recognized. As far as
I understand others aren't.
This seems to be true:
$psql postgres -c "set TIMEZONE='bug' ; show timezone;"
ERROR: invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "bug"
$ echo $?
1
However adding a correct numerical offset leads Postgresql to accept a
non-existing timezone name:
$ psql postgres -c "set TIMEZONE='bug-1' ; show timezone;"
$ echo $?
0
Thank you.
