   The view <code class="structname">pg_timezone_names</code> provides a list
   of time zone names that are recognized by <code class="command">SET TIMEZONE</code>,
   along with their associated abbreviations, UTC offsets,
   and daylight-savings status.  (Technically,
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> does not use UTC because leap
   seconds are not handled.)
   Unlike the abbreviations shown in <a class="link" href="view-pg-timezone-abbrevs.html" title="52.93. pg_timezone_abbrevs"><code class="structname">pg_timezone_abbrevs</code></a>, 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 <code class="function">CURRENT_TIMESTAMP</code>.
