Wiki / Configuration Parameters

timezone_abbreviations

Sets the collection of additional time zone abbreviations that will be accepted by the server for datetime input (beyond any abbreviations defined by the current TimeZone setting). The default is 'Default', which is a collection that works in most of the world; there are also 'Australia' and 'India', and other collections can be defined for a particular installation. See Section B.4 for more information.

English manual coverage begins with PostgreSQL 7.4. Source history and runtime observations have their own recorded version boundaries.
