My server is running in MDT
So I used following one to convert EST
SET time_zone = '-5:00'
But, how can I switch it to EDT
because
While `EST` is only valid in winter, while in summer how to change it to `EDT`
I just try to used named time zone. But I am getting following error
#1298 - Unknown or incorrect time zone: 'America/Toronto'
I don't understand how to solve this problem
How can i switch
UTC -05 TO UTC-04
USE time_converter; Step3: Creating table times with 2 columns using the following SQL query as follows. Let us create a table with index and DATETIME as a datatype. CREATE TABLE times (Sno INT, date_time DATETIME);
You can change the system time zone in several different ways, such as: If you are starting the server with mysqld_safe, then you can set the system time zone with the --timezone option either on the command-line or in the [mysqld_safe] option group in an option file.
Internally, a MySQL timestamp column is stored as UTC. But, when you select a date, MySQL automatically converts the timestamp column to the current session's time zone. MySQL converts TIMESTAMP values from the current time zone to UTC for storage.
For Linux, BSD, and Mac OS X if you need to load the timezone table do this:
$ mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -uroot mysql
Since you're using Windows, your going to have to import the time zone description tables to your MySQL server.
