Syntax

CONVERT_TZ(dt,from_tz,to_tz)

Description

CONVERT_TZ() converts a datetime value dt from the time zone given by from_tz to the time zone given by to_tz and returns the resulting value.

In order to use named time zones, such as GMT, MET or Africa/Johannesburg, the time_zone tables must be loaded (see mysql_tzinfo_to_sql).

This function returns NULL if the arguments are invalid (or named time zones have not been loaded).

See time zones for more information.

Examples

SELECT CONVERT_TZ('2016-01-01 12:00:00','GMT','Africa/Johannesburg');
