Hi All,
Is it possible to store the timezone with datetime data type in mysql or any
other approach available to achieve this in mysql.
Looking for your help.
Thanks,
Manoj
MySQL doesn't support timezones (I think Postgres does). I usually
just store dates as Greenwich Mean Time and store the time zone hours
offset in a separate field.

Agreed. Store as UTC. You can always convert to the needed timezone during
query or during display. See MySQL's CONVERT_TZ() function.

My concern is whether the time_zone_id is a fixed reference of the
timezone. If the id might (for whatever reason) change in the
future, I'd have to store the timezone name.

You can convert back and forth

This is entirely a matter of choice. It's like asking if you should
store formatting when you insert phone numbers into a database--is it
All,
I will be recording timezone information based on user input using the
time zone names from mysql.time_zone_name - names
like 'America/Los_Angeles'.
When recording this information, do I store the full name or just
the 'time_zone_id' which is present in mysql.time_zone_name ?
thanks

program.
Does MySQL store TimeZone and DayLight Saving Time changes ?
Or does it have a way to find it once you have a field whose type is
timestamp ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your help,
