Document handling of invalid/ambiguous timestamp input near DST boundaries.
Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>
Document handling of invalid/ambiguous timestamp input near DST boundaries. The source code comments documented this, but the user-facing docs, not so much. Add a section to Appendix B that discusses it. In passing, improve a couple other things in Appendix B --- notably, a long-obsolete claim that time zone abbreviations are looked up in a fixed table. Per bug #15527 from Michael Davidson. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15527-f1be0b4dc99ebbe7@postgresql.org
