Hi,
In 7.3 I was able to do:
ALTER DATABASE babase SET "TimeZone" TO 'Nairobi';
a nice Posix TZ value (FYI UTC+3 w. no daylight savings time).
In 7.4 this no longer works. I see some UTC+3 time zones
in the 7.4 docs, but how am I to know that they correspond
to Kenyan time, especially with respect to daylight
savings and other goofyness? What's the right thing to do?
Thanks.

I don't believe it worked in 7.3 either, but before 7.4 we didn't really
detect whether the system timezone library recognized the name or not.
I think the usual spelling for this zone name is 'Africa/Nairobi'.
Certainly that's what PG 8.0 will take.

Thanks! That works in 7.4.

I have a requirement to compare the user entry for mm/dd/yy/HH/mm

I am using the following script, but it is not giving the right answer.
Your kind help is appreciated. Thank you!
//this is what user enters
var gdate = new Date(f.year.value, f.month.value, f.day.value,
f.hour.value, f.min.value);

Hi all,
I want to have the time zone string (like 'BRT') displayed after a
date-time. The date column is of the type timestamp with time zone. But
the time zone is not displayed.
It works for a timestamp without time zone column:
# select to_char(timestamp '2001-02-16 20:38:40' at time zone 'BRT',
'HH24:MI DD/MM/YYYY TZ');

I've built a program that show some dates to users. I got a problem when

Following python code prints out incorrect UTC Offset - the python
docs say that %z is not fully supported on all platforms - but on
Linux Fedora FC5, perl code works and python does not - is this a bug
or is this expected behavior? For a EST timezone setup, Perl prints
correct -0500, while Python prints +0000 - this is Python 2.4.
Perl:
$now_string = strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z", localtime;

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
