Re: PostgreSQL 8.0.3 : initdb fails with the time zone value WAT0 on HP-Unix platforms - Mailing list pgsql-bugs

Hmm, is there someplace where that is actually used?  The zic timezone
database says that WAT generally means GMT+1 not GMT.

We are not in the business of thinking that we know better than the
people who maintain the timezone database.  I'd suggest taking it up
with the timezone list (tz@elsie.nci.nih.gov) if you think this is
correct and not an error on HP's part.
