Thread: Possible bug
Your name : Suchandra Thapa Your email address : s-thapa@uchicago.edu System Configuration --------------------- Architecture (example: Intel Pentium) : K6-2 Operating System (example: Linux 2.0.26 ELF) : linux 2.2.17 PostgreSQL version (example: PostgreSQL-7.0): PostgreSQL-7.0.2 Compiler used (example: gcc 2.8.0) : gcc 2.95.2 Please enter a FULL description of your problem: ------------------------------------------------ The information on timezones seems to be incorrect based on the documentation. The appendix on time/date support (UG1) in the user's guide lists hawaii and alaska as being in the same timezone and having daylight and standard variants. However Hawaii is an hour back from alaska's time zone and does not use daylight savings time. The abbreviation for Hawaii's time zone is Hawaiian Standard Time (HST) and it is equivalent to (GMT-10). Also some other areas particularly tropical countries do not observe daylight savings time. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Suchandra S.
