Description: Timezone string fails in a certain context (see below).
Details:
This statement works just fine:
insert into tasks (client_id, task_id, scheduled_time,
scheduled_time_required) values(699,4,('2006-03-20 09:06:00 PST' at time
zone 'US/Eastern'),'2006-03-20 06:00:00');
INSERT 0 1
But this one fails:
lii_hardware=# insert into tasks (client_id, task_id, scheduled_time,
scheduled_time_required) values(699,4,('2006-03-20 09:06:00 US/Pacific' at
time zone 'US/Eastern'),'2006-03-20 06:00:00');
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: "2006-03-20
09:06:00 US/Pacific"
The only difference between the two is the PST timezone string was replaced
with a longer, also correct, timezone string.
Thank you in advance for your help.
