For example: SHOW SESSION VARIABLES LIKE 'time_zone' + -+-+ | Variable_name | Value | + -+-+ | time_zone | SYSTEM | + -+-+ System Time Zone The current session time zone can be viewed by looking at the session value of the time_zone system variable. For example: SET time_zone = 'America/New_York' This time zone is initially inherited from the global value of the time_zone system variable, which sets the session value of the same variable.Ī session's time zone can be changed dynamically by setting the time_zone system variable. For example: SHOW GLOBAL VARIABLES LIKE 'time_zone' + -+-+ | Variable_name | Value | + -+-+ | time_zone | SYSTEM | + -+-+ Session Time ZoneĮach session that connects to the server will also have its own time zone. The current global server time zone can be viewed by looking at the global value of the time_zone system variable. For example: SET GLOBAL time_zone = 'America/New_York' The global server time zone can also be changed dynamically by setting the time_zone system variable as a user account that has the SUPER privilege. The global server time zone can be changed at server startup by setting the -default-time-zone option either on the command-line or in a server option group in an option file. There is also a third time zone setting which may be relevant-the system time zone. There are two time zone settings that can be set within MariaDB-the global server time zone, and the time zone for your current session. See mysql Time Zone Tables below for more information. If the time zone tables in the mysql database were loaded, then a named time zone, such as America/New_York, Africa/Johannesburg, or Europe/Helsinki, is also permissible.An offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), such as +5:00 or -9:00, can also be used.See System Time Zone below for more information. The default value is SYSTEM, which indicates that the system time zone defined in the system_time_zone system variable will be used.

It can be specified in one of the following formats: The time_zone system variable is the primary way to set the time zone.

MariaDB keeps track of several time zone settings.
