Showing date/time columns in timezone

Post by dbinott » Thu 05 Nov 2015 14:35

I store all date/times as UTC and was wondering if there is a way to show them in a certain timezone w/o building a query? Just like you can format the date/time output.

In MySQL, there are no data types storing the information about time zones unlike Oracle having timestamp with timezone or MS SQL Server with datetimeoffset. Please also see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/datetime.html
