The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/view-pg-timezone-names.html
Description:
With regard to documentation page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/view-pg-timezone-names.html
Testing:
SELECT name, abbrev, utc_offset, is_dst FROM pg_catalog.pg_timezone_abbrevs
;
... produces the error
ERROR: column "name" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT name, abbrev, utc_offset, is_dst FROM pg_timezone_abb...
Apparently, the column "name" isn't there any more.
SELECT * FROM pg_catalog.pg_timezone_abbrevs LIMIT 1;
produces
abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst
:----- | :--------- | :-----

Either the table (or view) is lacking a column, or the documentation is
wrong.
