Before writing a Java Date to an SQL TIMESTAMP column, does JDBC translate the date from the JVM time zone to the database session time zone?

Question

Before writing a Java Date to an SQL TIMESTAMP column, does JDBC translate the date from the Java virtual machine time zone to that of the database session?

For exam

Answer 1

No, JDBC is just an API on how the client can access the database. For timestamp storage, this will have to be dependent by the organisation that writes their database drivers that conforms to the JDBC API standard.

Here's an implementation of MySQL's implementation of PreparedStatement. They seem to take Java's JVM timezone to MySQL Timezone (check the setTimestampInternal() method).
