Is there an easy way to test to see if MySQL already has the proper tables loaded?

Yes, reload them. :-)  After that, they're current! .......


After digging around on the net for a while I found an easy way to tell if your MySQL installation is ready for the new daylight savings time.

SELECT UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11 02:00:00'), UNIX_TIMESTAMP('2007-03-11 03:00:00');

This should return the same value, even though you are feeding it different times, because this is when the 1 hr change occurs. I get the correct result on both of my machines. On one of them I've run the suggested |mysql_tzinfo_to_sql command, on the other, the time zone tables are completely empty!

Any wisdom on these time zone tables - are they ever used, should I populate them or not?
