On Saturday, 30th of June, Andrew Dunstan stamped HEAD in git as 12devel.
This means that there will be no new features in Pg11. And now, my test Pg reports:
=$ psql -c 'select version()' version ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════ PostgreSQL 12devel ON x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled BY gcc (Debian 6.3.0-18+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516, 64-bit (1 ROW)
Nice 🙂
So can postgresql in 12 finally get timestamp with proper timezone handling. Like this extension https://github.com/mweber26/timestampandtz but in core and also with range support. This should end all complaints on TZ front
That extension is junk and should be avoided at all costs. The author needs to learn what “immutable” means, and also how time zones work, past and future.
