I am using this Where Condition in One Of my query with MySql Database.My Problem is that i have one displaytime column in my table but that table column shows the data in UTC Time.and i want to convert that displaytime column in the Local Time Zone.so how can i provide this facility from query itself.
I have goggled the things and by that i knew that something like SELECT CONVERT_TZ() will work for that.but its not working for me.
SELECT CONVERT_TZ()
Here is my query in which i need to convert displaytime to local time zone…so can anyone please guide me?
WHERE displaytime >= '2012-12-01 00:00:00' AND displaytime <='2013-02-22 23:59:59' AND ct.organizationId IN ( SELECT t.organizationId FROM organization_ AS t JOIN organization_ AS p ON t.treePath LIKE CONCAT(p.treePath, '%') WHERE p.organizationId = 10707
SAmple DAta
SELECT CONVERT_TZ() will work for that.but its not working for me.
Why, what error do you get?
SELECT CONVERT_TZ(displaytime,'GMT','MET');
should work if your column type is timestamp, or date
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/date-and-time- functions.html#function_convert-tz
Test how this works:
SELECT CONVERT_TZ(a_ad_display.displaytime,'+00:00','+04:00');
Check your timezone-table
SELECT * FROM mysql.time_zone; SELECT * FROM mysql.time_zone_name;
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/time-zone-support.html
If those tables are empty, you have not initialized your timezone tables. According to link above you can use mysql_tzinfo_to_sql program to load the Time Zone Tables. Please try this
mysql_tzinfo_to_sql
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo
