According to mysqltutorial The values of the MySQL TIMESTAMP columns depend on connection’s time

  • 0

According to mysqltutorial

The values of the MySQL TIMESTAMP columns depend on connection’s time
zone. When insert values for MySQL TIMESTAMP columns, they are
converted to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC) from connection’s time
zone. When you select the value, the server converts it back from UTC
to the connection’s time zone so you have the same value that you
inserted.

Where does it get this info. from, the time the user sets his OS to or from some other method?

Javascript also has a way to do timezones but is more involved: onlineaspect

    To specify connection-specific time you need to perform

    SET time_zone = TZ;

    Where TZ can be either numerical offset like +11:00 or name of timezone Asia/Vladivostok (for the latter you need to import timezones description. Ask your DBA to do so)
