Date/Time Configuration Files</A ></H1 ><P > Since timezone abbreviations are not well standardized, <SPAN CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" >PostgreSQL</SPAN > provides a means to customize the set of abbreviations accepted by the server. The <A HREF="runtime-config-client.html#GUC-TIMEZONE-ABBREVIATIONS" >timezone_abbreviations</A > run-time parameter determines the active set of abbreviations. While this parameter can be altered by any database user, the possible values for it are under the control of the database administrator — they are in fact names of configuration files stored in <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >.../share/timezonesets/</TT > of the installation directory. By adding or altering files in that directory, the administrator can set local policy for timezone abbreviations. </P ><P > <TT CLASS="VARNAME" >timezone_abbreviations</TT > can be set to any file name found in <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >.../share/timezonesets/</TT >, if the file's name is entirely alphabetic. (The prohibition against non-alphabetic characters in <TT CLASS="VARNAME" >timezone_abbreviations</TT > prevents reading files outside the intended directory, as well as reading editor backup files and other extraneous files.) </P ><P > A timezone abbreviation file can contain blank lines and comments beginning with <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >#</TT >.

An <TT CLASS="REPLACEABLE" ><I >offset</I ></TT > is an integer giving the equivalent offset in seconds from UTC, positive being east from Greenwich and negative being west. For example, -18000 would be five hours west of Greenwich, or North American east coast standard time. <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >D</TT > indicates that the zone name represents local daylight-savings time rather than standard time. </P ><P > Alternatively, a <TT CLASS="REPLACEABLE" ><I >time_zone_name</I ></TT > can be given, referencing a zone name defined in the IANA timezone database. The zone's definition is consulted to see whether the abbreviation is or has been in use in that zone, and if so, the appropriate meaning is used — that is, the meaning that was currently in use at the timestamp whose value is being determined, or the meaning in use immediately before that if it wasn't current at that time, or the oldest meaning if it was used only after that time. This behavior is essential for dealing with abbreviations whose meaning has historically varied. It is also allowed to define an abbreviation in terms of a zone name in which that abbreviation does not appear; then using the abbreviation is just equivalent to writing out the zone name. </P ><DIV CLASS="TIP" ><BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="TIP" ><P ><B >Tip: </B > Using a simple integer <TT CLASS="REPLACEABLE" ><I >offset</I ></TT > is preferred when defining an abbreviation whose offset from UTC has never changed, as such abbreviations are much cheaper to process than those that require consulting a time zone definition. </P ></BLOCKQUOTE ></DIV ><P > The <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >@INCLUDE</TT > syntax allows inclusion of another file in the <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >.../share/timezonesets/</TT > directory. Inclusion can be nested, to a limited depth. </P ><P > The <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >@OVERRIDE</TT > syntax indicates that subsequent entries in the file can override previous entries (typically, entries obtained from included files). Without this, conflicting definitions of the same timezone abbreviation are considered an error. </P ><P > In an unmodified installation, the file <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >Default</TT > contains all the non-conflicting time zone abbreviations for most of the world. Additional files <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >Australia</TT > and <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >India</TT > are provided for those regions: these files first include the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >Default</TT > file and then add or modify abbreviations as needed. </P ><P > For reference purposes, a standard installation also contains files <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >Africa.txt</TT >, <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >America.txt</TT >, etc, containing information about every time zone abbreviation known to be in use according to the IANA timezone database. The zone name definitions found in these files can be copied and pasted into a custom configuration file as needed. Note that these files cannot be directly referenced as <TT CLASS="VARNAME" >timezone_abbreviations</TT > settings, because of the dot embedded in their names. </P ><DIV CLASS="NOTE" ><BLOCKQUOTE CLASS="NOTE" ><P ><B >Note: </B > If an error occurs while reading the time zone abbreviation set, no new value is applied and the old set is kept.
