How is datetime formed in mysql (mariaDB)?

Question

MySQL

I'm using the datetime data type, but when I create the field, the current time is several hours behind. Apparently it's a matter of time zones. It is interesting to know whether it is possible to set the time settings in mysql, or do I need to write a separate php script that would automatically move the time forward?

Answer 1

You can change the time zone, here it is written in detail:
