Re: Strange behavior of the timezone

On server - UTC
Local - Europe/Moscow

For example, from 1920 all right:

If run in DataGrip:

select '1900-01-01 15:11:10'::timestamp t1, '1900-01-01
15:11:10'::timestamp at time zone 'Europe/Moscow' as t2

1900-01-01 15:11:10.000000    1900-01-01 12:40:53.000000

select '1920-01-01 15:11:10'::timestamp t1, '1920-01-01
15:11:10'::timestamp at time zone 'Europe/Moscow' as t2

1920-01-01 15:11:10.000000    1920-01-01 12:11:10.000000

select '1900-01-01 15:11:10'::timestamp t1, '1900-01-01
15:11:10'::timestamp at time zone 'UTC-3' as t2

1900-01-01 15:11:10.000000    1900-01-01 12:11:10.000000

Thanks
