There is no such time zone abbreviation according to the IANA
time zone database [1], which is what we rely on.

Try GMT:

test_(postgres)# select CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'GMT';
           timezone
----------------------------
  2020-01-24 17:17:52.754861

Aah, is this what you are looking for?:

https://24timezones.com/time-zone/gst

It seems to be an alias for UTC+04, though not recognized by IANA. That 
would be:

Asia/Dubai or Asia/Muscat

Unless you are talking about:

You could set up a private timezone abbreviation configuration.

What is the type definition for the database column you are entering the 
data in?

Are you entering these by hand?

What happens if you use Asia/Dubai or Asia/Muscat as the time zone?
