Answer 1

I also was having the exact same problem in LibreOffice Base. So I just specified a non 'daylight savings time zone' in the connection string.

I tried without the "&serverTimezone=MST" but that failed as well.

I also tried "&serverTimezone=MDT" and that failed, so for some reason, it doesn't like daylight savings time!
