fractional timezones - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello.  I don't seem to be able to set a fractional
timezone for Katmandu, Nepal.  In version 7.2.1, the
following commands either fail or round to the
nearest hour (GMT+6:00).   I'm curious if I'm missing
anything...

  SET TIME ZONE "GMT+5.75"
  SET TIME ZONE "GMT+5:45"
  SET TIME ZONE "Asia/Katmandu"
  SET TIMEZONE 5.45
  SET TIMEZONE 5.75
  SET TIMEZONE 345
  *sigh*

Best,

Clark
