Hello,
I would like to report a factual error in the PostgreSQL documentation
regarding time zone abbreviations (Appendix B).
The documentation lists:
SET | +01:00 | Seychelles Time
This is incorrect for two reasons:
The official time in the Seychelles (SCT) is UTC+04:00 (and has been since
1906).
The abbreviation "SET" in the context of UTC+01:00 historically referred to
Swedish East Time, not Seychelles Time.
This error can be found in the datetime-config-appendix of several
versions, including the current one. It would be great to update the
description to avoid confusion for users relying on these tables.
Best regards,
MEDJELLED Mohammed Elamine
