Or has Windows not heard of daylight-savings time? Or perhaps they have, but are not aware that the DST laws have changed often in the past? Over-simplistic answers are not what we need here. The data structure you quote cannot even tell what DST transition dates Windows thinks are in effect this year, let alone what it thinks the dates were in past years. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [email protected] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
