MySQL JDBC Driver 5.1.33 - Time Zone Issue

Question

Some background:

I have a Java 1.6 webapp running on Tomcat 7. The database is MySQL 5.5. Previously, I was using Mysql JDBC driver 5.1.23 to connect to the DB. Ever

Answer 1

The above program will generate that time zone error.

After your database name you have to add this: ?useTimezone=true&serverTimezone=UTC. Once you have done your code will work fine.

Best of luck :)
