Time Zone generator

Last modified: April 3, 2025

The Time Zone generator creates values representing full time zone names for populating applications or systems requiring detailed time zone information.

Generator properties

The table provides key details about the generator, including the short name, sample of the generated data, the supported data types, and whether it is specific to a particular country.

Short name	Example of generated data	Data type matching	Country-specific
Time Zone	Greenwich Mean Time, Australian Central Standard Time, Cook Island Time, Central Africa Time, Niue Time…	character varyingcharactertext	Default

Matching rules

The generator can be assigned to a column whose name starts with ‘time’ and ends with zone, with any or no characters in between, regardless of the table name.

Configure additional settings

The generator produces data based on a regular expression. Since it is built on the RegExp generator, see Regular Expression generator to customize settings and understand the correct usage of syntax.

The Text box displays a .csv file with time zone codes. The default path to the file is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Devart\dbForge Studio for PostgreSQL\Data Generators\TimeZones.csv[1].
