Europe/Moscow timezone

From what I can tell, PostgreSQL 8.0.3 should support Europe/Moscow as
a timezone input string. However, this doesn't seem to work:

db=> INSERT INTO synctimes (time, sreplica, shost, dreplica, dhost, seconds, pseconds) VALUES ('10-05-2006 18:26:13 Europe/Moscow', 9407, 27362, 18516, 35361, 1606, 47);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for type timestamp with time zone: "10-05-2006 18:26:13 Europe/Moscow"

Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks.

8.0 only supports such timezones in the form:

'10-05-2006 18:26:13' AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/Moscow';

Including it in the string is only supported from 8.2 beta onward. So
try that out and see how it goes.

Have a nice day,

Perhaps an error in this version, i have 8.1, or wrong syntax.

test=# select TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '10-05-2006 18:26:13 ' AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/Moscow';
timezone
---------------------
2006-10-05 20:26:13
(1 row)

Try this:

test=# insert into xy values (TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '10-05-2006 18:26:13' AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/Moscow');
INSERT 0 1

Sorry, no. That's actually new for 8.2.

That doesn't work, either.

db=> INSERT INTO synctimes (time, sreplica, shost, dreplica, dhost, seconds, pseconds) VALUES ('10-05-2006 18:26:13' AT TIME ZONE 'Europe/Moscow', 999999, 27362, 18516, 35361, 1606, 47);

I think AT TIME ZONE was updated to allow long-form tz names in 8.1.
In 8.0 you probably can't do anything except SET TIME ZONE with 'em.
