For MySQL the Django docs say <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/databases/#time-zone-definitions> :
If you plan on using Django’s timezone support > <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/i18n/timezones/>, use > mysql_tzinfo_to_sql > <https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/en/mysql-tzinfo-to-sql.html> to load > time zone tables into the MySQL database. This needs to be done just once > for your MySQL server, not per database. I can't find any evidence that Django actually uses those tables? Here <https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/backends/mysql/operations.py#L164>, for example, is a snippet from adapt_datetimefield_value(): # MySQL doesn't support tz-aware datetimes > if timezone.is_aware(value): > if settings.USE_TZ: > value = timezone.make_naive(value, > self.connection.timezone) > else: > raise ValueError("MySQL backend does not support > timezone-aware datetimes when USE_TZ is False.") adapt_timefiled_value() is even simpler <https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/backends/mysql/operations.py#L188> : # MySQL doesn't support tz-aware times > if timezone.is_aware(value): > raise ValueError("MySQL backend does not support > timezone-aware times.")
