For the latest information, see <a href="https://data.iana.org/time-zones/tz-link.html">Sources for Time Zone and Daylight Saving Time Data</a>. </div> <p>These names are not the same as the names shown in <code>/opt/vertica/share/timezonesets</code>, which are recognized by OpenText™ Analytics Database in date/time input values. The TIME ZONE names listed below imply a local Daylight Saving Time rule, where date/time input names represent a fixed offset from UTC.</p> <p>In many cases, the same zone has several names. These are grouped together. The list is sorted primarily by commonly used zone names.</p> <p>In addition to the names in the list, the database accepts time zone names as one of the following:</p> <ul> <li> <p><em><code>STDoffset</code></em></p> </li> <li> <p><em><code>STDoffsetDST</code></em></p> </li> </ul> <p>where <em><code>STD</code></em> is a zone abbreviation, <em><code>offset</code></em> is a numeric offset in hours west from UTC, and <em><code>DST</code></em> is an optional Daylight Saving Time zone abbreviation, assumed to stand for one hour ahead of the given offset.</p> <p>For example, if <code>EST5EDT</code> were not already a recognized zone name, the database accepts it as functionally equivalent to USA East Coast time. When a Daylight Saving Time zone name is present, the database assumes it uses USA time zone rules, so this feature is of limited use outside North America. <div class="admonition caution" role="alert"> <h4 class="admonition-head">Caution</h4> Be aware that this provision can lead to silently accepting invalid input, as there is no check on the reasonableness of the zone abbreviations. For example, <code>SET TIME ZONE TO FOOBANKO</code> works, leaving the system effectively using a rather peculiar abbreviation for GMT. </div></p> <h2 id="time-zones">Time zones</h2> <ul> <li>Africa:
