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.
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

The answer is
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
shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo
or if not working read more: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/mysql-tzinfo-to-sql.html
In my case, where the timezones are not available on the server, this works great:
SELECT CONVERT_TZ(`date_field`,'+00:00',@@global.time_zone) FROM `table`
Note: global.time_zone uses the server timezone. You have to make sure, that it has the desired timezone!
select convert_tz(now(),@@session.time_zone,'+05:30')
replace '+05:30' with desired timezone. see here - https://stackoverflow.com/a/3984412/2359994
to format into desired time format, eg:
select DATE_FORMAT(convert_tz(now(),@@session.time_zone,'+05:30') ,'%b %d %Y %h:%i:%s %p')
you will get similar to this -> Dec 17 2014 10:39:56 AM
