Subject: using 'zoneinfo' to manipulate dates ...

Does anyone have a 'table of timezones' that could be used to "localize" 
as part of a query?

For instance, something like:

SELECT date
   FROM table
  WHERE ( time || ' ' || ( SELECT timezone
                             FROM zones
                            WHERE id = table.timezone )) = '2004-12-12';

Something like this, but that works:

# select ( now() || ' ' || 'PST8PDT' )::timestamp;
ERROR:  invalid input syntax for type timestamp: "2005-06-26 00:23:29.789703-03 PST8PDT"
