Note: The following description applies both to Postgres-XC and PostgreSQL if not described explicitly.
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.
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
.
