To complicate matters, some jurisdictions have used the same timezone
abbreviation to mean different UTC offsets at different times; for
example, in Moscow MSK has meant UTC+3 in some years and
- UTC+4 in others. <application>PostgreSQL> interprets such
+ UTC+4 in others. <productname>PostgreSQL> interprets such
abbreviations according to whatever they meant (or had most recently
meant) on the specified date; but, as with the EST example
above, this is not necessarily the same as local civil time on that date.
