MySQL Timezone in ClearDB, Heroku

Question

I already changed my Heroku app timezone by using the following command:

heroku config:add TZ="America/Los_Angeles"

I noted that the timezone in my app did change, but when I put A SELECT NOW() command, the timezone didn't change .

When I enter the following command:

SELECT @@global.time_zone;

It appears "SYSTEM" as a result.

How can MYSQL reflect the change and be in the same timezone as my Heroku app?

Answer 1

As the user ceejayoz noted, this is because Heroku's databases don't run on the same instances. Will mark this question as closed.
