Hm. Setting timezone to 'US/Pacific' still works fine for me;
this must have been an external change.
Seeing that you're on FreeBSD ... I believe that the FreeBSD
postgresql package maintainer switched that package to use FreeBSD's
standard timezone database instead of the one shipped with Postgres,
as of 12.1 [1]. And a quick look into /usr/share/zoneinfo on a nearby
FreeBSD box shows that it's got a much more limited set of zone names
than an IANA-standard timezone database:
$ ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Africa/ Australia/ Etc/ MST WET
America/ CET Europe/ MST7MDT posixrules
Antarctica/ CST6CDT Factory PST8PDT zone.tab
Arctic/ EET HST Pacific/
Asia/ EST Indian/ SystemV/
Atlantic/ EST5EDT MET UTC
For comparison, a nearby RHEL machine has
$ ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/
Africa/ Canada/ GB Indian/ Mexico/ ROK iso3166.tab
America/ Chile/ GB-Eire Iran NZ Singapore leapseconds
Antarctica/ Cuba GMT Israel NZ-CHAT Turkey posix/
Arctic/ EET GMT+0 Jamaica Navajo UCT posixrules
Asia/ EST GMT-0 Japan PRC US/ right/
Atlantic/ EST5EDT GMT0 Kwajalein PST8PDT UTC tzdata.zi
Australia/ Egypt Greenwich Libya Pacific/ Universal zone.tab
Brazil/ Eire HST MET Poland W-SU zone1970.tab
CET Etc/ Hongkong MST Portugal WET
CST6CDT Europe/ Iceland MST7MDT ROC Zulu
which I believe is an unmodified copy of the IANA data.
So really your question ought to be directed to whoever packages
tzdata for FreeBSD, and it is "why don't they ship the full IANA
zone set?" But in the meantime, it looks like America/Los_Angeles
should work for you.
regards, tom lane
