BUG #6637: Casablanca timezone is wrong
The following bug has been logged on the website:
Bug reference: 6637
Logged by: David Chuet
Email address: dchuet@odotech.com
PostgreSQL version: 9.0.7
Operating system: Windows 7 x64
Description:
Using Postgresql command :
------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM pg_timezone_names
------------------------------------------
We get for Africa/Casablanca, timezone equal to WET with no DST.
This is not true from 2010.
See Wikipedia, for Morocco:
Time zone WET (UTC+0)
Summer (DST) WEST (UTC+1)(May 2nd to August 7th)
So, I cannot set correctly the DateTime for an install in Morocco.

We get the time zone list from the operating system. It might not be
working correctly, but based on this amount of information I can't
speculate as to why.

And of course now I see that (1) someone already replied to your
reposting of this bug and (2) what I just told you was completely
wrong.
Sorry for the noise.
