Hello,

Is there a way to have access to the tzdata boundaries from within postgres ?

the zdump linux command gives something like

------
zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Los_Angeles | grep 2017

Sun Mar 12 09:59:59 2017 UTC = Sun Mar 12 01:59:59 2017 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
Sun Mar 12 10:00:00 2017 UTC = Sun Mar 12 03:00:00 2017 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
Sun Nov  5 08:59:59 2017 UTC = Sun Nov  5 01:59:59 2017 PDT isdst=1 gmtoff=-25200
Sun Nov  5 09:00:00 2017 UTC = Sun Nov  5 01:00:00 2017 PST isdst=0 gmtoff=-28800
------

I guess that postgres have access to these datas to be able to correcly handle timezone, but I can't find a way to surface these boundaries (except maybe with a smart generate_series scheme (?))


Thanks,
Jérôme Wagner
