MYSQL_TZINFO_TO_SQL(1) MySQL Database System MYSQL_TZINFO_TO_SQL(1)

NAME

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql - load the time zone tables

SYNOPSIS

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql arguments

DESCRIPTION

The mysql_tzinfo_to_sql program loads the time zone tables in the mysql

database. It is used on systems that have a zoneinfo database (the set

of files describing time zones). Examples of such systems are Linux,

FreeBSD, Solaris, and OS X. One likely location for these files is the

/usr/share/zoneinfo directory (/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo on Solaris). If

your system does not have a zoneinfo database, you can use the

downloadable package described in Section 5.1.10, "MySQL Server Time

Zone Support".

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql can be invoked several ways:

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_dir

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file

For the first invocation syntax, pass the zoneinfo directory path name

to mysql_tzinfo_to_sql and send the output into the mysql program. For

example:

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql reads your system's time zone files and generates

SQL statements from them. mysql processes those statements to load the

time zone tables.

The second syntax causes mysql_tzinfo_to_sql to load a single time zone

file tz_file that corresponds to a time zone name tz_name:

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name | mysql -u root mysql

If your time zone needs to account for leap seconds, invoke

mysql_tzinfo_to_sql using the third syntax, which initializes the leap

second information. tz_file is the name of your time zone file:

shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file | mysql -u root mysql

After running mysql_tzinfo_to_sql, it is best to restart the server so

that it does not continue to use any previously cached time zone data.
