SYNOPSIS

9       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql arguments

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
18       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql can be invoked several ways:
19
20           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_dir
21           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name
22           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file
23
24       For the first invocation syntax, pass the zoneinfo directory path name
25       to mysql_tzinfo_to_sql and send the output into the mysql program. For
26       example:
27
28           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql /usr/share/zoneinfo | mysql -u root mysql
29
30       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql reads your system´s time zone files and generates
31       SQL statements from them.  mysql processes those statements to load the
32       time zone tables.
33
34       The second syntax causes mysql_tzinfo_to_sql to load a single time zone
35       file tz_file that corresponds to a time zone name tz_name:
36
37           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql tz_file tz_name | mysql -u root mysql
38
39       If your time zone needs to account for leap seconds, invoke
40       mysql_tzinfo_to_sql using the third syntax, which initializes the leap
41       second information.  tz_file is the name of your time zone file:
42
43           shell> mysql_tzinfo_to_sql --leap tz_file | mysql -u root mysql
44
45       After running mysql_tzinfo_to_sql, it is best to restart the server so
46       that it does not continue to use any previously cached time zone data.
