53.34. pg_timezone_names
pg_timezone_names
The view pg_timezone_names provides a list of time zone names that are recognized by SET TIMEZONE, along with their associated abbreviations, UTC offsets, and daylight-savings status. (Technically, PostgreSQL does not use UTC because leap seconds are not handled.) Unlike the abbreviations shown in pg_timezone_abbrevs, many of these names imply a set of daylight-savings transition date rules.
Therefore, the associated information changes across local DST boundaries.
The displayed information is computed based on the current value of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
Column Type Description |

name Time zone name |
