Time zone abbreviations

The following SQL statement returns the valid time zone abbreviations that can be specified with the CONVERT_TIMEZONE function.

select pg_timezone_abbrevs();

The results contain a comma-separated string with the time zone abbreviation, UTC offset, and indicator if the time zone observes daylight-savings (t or f). For example, the following snippet shows two resulting rows. The first row contains the abbreviation for Pacific Daylight Time PDT, with a -07:00:00 offset from UTC, and t to indicate it observes daylight-savings time. The second row contains the abbreviation for Pacific Standard Time PST, with a -08:00:00 offset from UTC, and f to indicate it does not observe daylight-savings time.
