SYNOPSIS

9       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql arguments
10

DESCRIPTION

12       The mysql_tzinfo_to_sql program loads the time zone tables in the mysql
13       database. It is used on systems that have a zoneinfo database (the set
14       of files describing time zones). Examples of such systems are Linux,
15       FreeBSD, Solaris, and Mac OS X. One likely location for these files is
16       the /usr/share/zoneinfo directory (/usr/share/lib/zoneinfo on Solaris).
17       If your system does not have a zoneinfo database, you can use the
18       downloadable package described in Section 9.6, “MySQL Server Time Zone
19       Support”.
20
21       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql can be invoked several ways:
22
23           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_dir
24           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name
25           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file
26
27       For the first invocation syntax, pass the zoneinfo directory path name
28       to mysql_tzinfo_to_sql and send the output into the mysql program. For
29       example:
30
31           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql
32
33       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql reads your system´s time zone files and generates
34       SQL statements from them.  mysql processes those statements to load the
35       time zone tables.
36
37       The second syntax causes mysql_tzinfo_to_sql to load a single time zone
38       file tz_file that corresponds to a time zone name tz_name:
39
40           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name | mysql -u root mysql
41
42       If your time zone needs to account for leap seconds, invoke
43       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql using the third syntax, which initializes the leap
44       second information.  tz_file is the name of your time zone file:
45
46           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file | mysql -u root mysql
47
48       After running mysql_tzinfo_to_sql, it is best to restart the server so
49       that it does not continue to use any previously cached time zone data.
