After getting an answer from this thread, it would save me alot of retyping if any readers could refer to it: link text
I find that I need to update(within a mysql db) a timezone code, singularly (e.g 10+, 1-, etc) to olsen code (e.g “Europe/London”, etc) according to what already exists within the user_timezone column. What would be the easiest what to go about that?
Any ideas would be very appreciated.
Given that a timezone offset (e.g. UTC+2) may correspond to many entries in the Olson database (e.g. Europe/Sofia, Europe/Riga, Africa/Cairo, etc.) you have to choose beforehand the offset-to-Olson-code correspondence.
Create a table describing those correspondences and then use it to build you update statement.
