The problem +is that time zone abbreviations are not unique throughout the world and you +might find out that a time zone abbreviation in the `Default' set collides +with the one you wanted to use. All other files except for `Default' are +intended to override values from the `Default' set. So you might already have +a file here that serves your needs. If not, you can create your own. + +In order to use one of these files, you need to set + + timezone_abbreviations = 'xyz' + +in any of the usual ways for setting a parameter, where xyz is the filename +that contains the desired time zone names. + +If you do not find an appropriate set of time zone names for your geographic +location supplied here, please report this to <pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org>. +Your set of time zone names can then be included in future releases. +For the time being you can always add your own set. |
