Google Cloud SQL and time zones

Question

I'm developing an app that meant to run only in Israel . All of our tables contains times at Israeli time ( Tel Aviv time).

because the SQL in GCP doesn't support default timezone and time zone convert I got stuck.

how can I convert times between time zones?

let me remind you that Israel has a light saving time change.

Answer 1

Now you have the ability to set the time zone in Cloud SQL. See https://cloud.google.com/sql/docs/mysql-flags . The limitation is that the time zone needs to be specified as offsets to UTC, such as '+10:00'. It does not support named time zones like 'Europe/Helsinki'.

On Google Cloud SQL you cannot currently set your own time zone. If you need to change the time zone on your instance, please get in touch with cloud-sql@google.com.
