Working with the time zone parameter

Populating the time zone tables

The time zone tables on your server can be populated by calling the az_load_timezone stored procedure from a tool like the MySQL command line or MySQL Workbench.

Note

If you are running the az_load_timezone command from MySQL Workbench, you may need to turn off safe update mode first using SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;.

CALL mysql.az_load_timezone();

To view available time zone values, run the following command:

SELECT name FROM mysql.time_zone_name;

Setting the global level time zone

The global level time zone can be set from the Server parameters page in the Azure portal. The below sets the global time zone to the value "US/Pacific".

Set time zone parameter

Setting the session level time zone

The session level time zone can be set by running the SET time_zone command from a tool like the MySQL command line or MySQL Workbench. The example below sets the time zone to the US/Pacific time zone.

SET time_zone = 'US/Pacific';

Refer to the MySQL documentation for Date and Time Functions.
