I was answering this stackoverflow question and found strange result:

 select * from  pg_timezone_names where name = 'Europe/Berlin' ;
     name      | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst 
---------------+--------+------------+--------
 Europe/Berlin | CET    | 01:00:00   | f

and next query

select id, 
  timestampwithtimezone, 
  timestampwithtimezone at time zone 'Europe/Berlin' as berlin, 
  timestampwithtimezone at time zone 'CET' as cet 
from data ;
 id  | timestampwithtimezone  |       berlin        |         cet

I'm using PostgreSQL 9.1.2 and ubuntu 12.04.
Just checked that on 8.2.11 result is the same.

According to documentation it doesn't matter if I use name or abbreviation.

Is this a bug?
Am I doing something wrong?
Can someone explain this result?

EDIT For the comment that CET is not Europe/Berlin.

I'm just selecting values from pg_timezone_names.

select * from  pg_timezone_names  where abbrev ='CEST';
 name | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst 
------+--------+------------+--------

and

select * from  pg_timezone_names  where abbrev ='CET';
        name         | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst 
---------------------+--------+------------+--------
 Africa/Tunis        | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 Africa/Algiers      | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 Africa/Ceuta        | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 CET                 | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 Atlantic/Jan_Mayen  | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 Arctic/Longyearbyen | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 Poland              | CET    | 01:00:00   | f
 .....

During winter Europe/Berlin is +01. During summer it is +02.

EDIT2 In 2012-10-28 timezone has change from summer time to winter time at 2:00.
This two records have the same value in Europe/Berlin:

204 | 2012-10-28 02:00:00+02 | 2012-10-28 02:00:00 | 2012-10-28 01:00:00
106 | 2012-10-28 02:00:00+01 | 2012-10-28 02:00:00 | 2012-10-28 02:00:00

This suggest that if I use one of abbreviations (CET or CEST) for big data range (summer time and winter time) result will be wrong for some of records but will be good if I use 'Europe/Berlin'.

I also changed the system time to '2012-01-17' and pg_timezone_names has changed also.

select * from  pg_timezone_names  where name ='Europe/Berlin';
     name      | abbrev | utc_offset | is_dst 
---------------+--------+------------+--------
 Europe/Berlin | CEST   | 02:00:00   | t
