Time zone names

The following SQL statement returns the valid time zone names that can be specified with the CONVERT_TIMEZONE function. For a current, complete list of time zone names, run the following command.

select pg_timezone_names();

Each row contains a comma-separated string with the time zone name, 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 is the time zone Europe/Paris, abbreviation CET, with 01:00:00 offset from UTC, and f to indicate it does not observe daylight-savings time. The second row is the time zone Israel, abbreviation IST, with 02:00:00 offset from UTC, and f to indicate it does not observe daylight-savings time.

pg_timezone_names ----------------- (Europe/Paris,CET,01:00:00,f) (Israel,IST,02:00:00,f)

Run the SQL statement to obtain the entire list and find a time zone name. Approximately 600 rows are returned. Even though some of the returned time zone names are capitalized initialisms or acronyms (for example; GB, PRC, ROK), the CONVERT_TIMEZONE function treats them as time zone names, not time zone abbreviations.
