Not sure what you mean here. As a guess, you should look at the
utility "zdump", which will show you the transition times for ST/DST.
You can set the TZ environment variable (or PGTZ envar when running
Postgres) to test out different time zones, which is how I can test
bug reports from other parts of the world.
