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="54.31. 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>.
