Hello @rajkishore
You can check this question that was previously asked in our community:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/questions/can-i-change-timezone-in-the-do-managed-mysql-database
The easiest way to do this now is via the DigitalOcean API.
First, use a
GET
request to get a list of your databases, and take the ID of the database you’re looking to change the settings for.Then, use this API call: https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/api/api-reference/#operation/databases_patch_config
Using your auth token and the body:
This should set the timezone for your server 👍
