Thread: [OT] Timezones and Daylight savings.

Could one of you kinds soul point me to the PostgreSQL code for determining
Timezones and Daylight Savings.  If I can assess the OS's database that
would be best.  Thanks-DEJ

Not sure what you mean here. As a guess, you should look at the
utility "zdump", which will show you the transition times for ST/DST.
You can set the TZ environment variable (or PGTZ envar when running
Postgres) to test out different time zones, which is how I can test
bug reports from other parts of the world.

Duno, try program called: Sam Spade at : http://www.download.com maybe
it will help/maybe not. It will sometimes determine the IP time info.
I'm one of those damn newbies! Ya know.

Good luck.
