Thread: Why timestamptz_pl_interval and timestamptz_mi_interval are not immutable?

Hi.

I'm currently looking on pushing down SQLValue expressions to foreign 
servers and was surprised that two timestamptz-related functions are not 
immutable.
I see that this was changed in commit

     Correct the volatility labeling of ten timestamp-related functions,
     per discussion from Friday.  initdb not forced in this commit but I 
intend
     to do that later.

I'm not sure, why  timestamptz_pl_interval and timestamptz_mi_interval 
are not immutable. Even if we change timezone during transaction, 
addition of the same interval to the same timestamps with time zone 
gives the same result.

postgres=# begin ;
BEGIN
postgres=*# select current_timestamp;
        current_timestamp
-------------------------------
  2021-08-16 13:26:59.366452+03
(1 row)

postgres=*# select timestamptz '2021-08-16 13:26:59.366452+03';
           timestamptz
-------------------------------
  2021-08-16 13:26:59.366452+03
(1 row)

postgres=*# select timestamptz '2021-08-16 13:26:59.366452+03' + '2 
days'::interval;
            ?column?
-------------------------------
  2021-08-18 13:26:59.366452+03
(1 row)

postgres=*# set timezone to UTC;
SET
postgres=*# select timestamptz '2021-08-16 13:26:59.366452+03' + '2 
days'::interval;
            ?column?
-------------------------------
  2021-08-18 10:26:59.366452+00
(1 row)

postgres=*# select timestamptz '2021-08-18 13:26:59.366452+03' = 
timestamptz '2021-08-18 10:26:59.366452+00';
  ?column?
----------
  t
(1 row)

See for example around DST changes

postgres=# begin;
BEGIN
postgres =# show timezone;
     TimeZone
------------------
 Europe/Amsterdam
(1 row)

postgres=# select '2021-03-27 15:00 +0100'::timestamptz + interval '1d';
        ?column?
------------------------
 2021-03-28 15:00:00+02
(1 row)

postgres =# set timezone to UTC;
SET
postgres =# select '2021-03-27 15:00 +0100'::timestamptz + interval '1d';
        ?column?
------------------------
