Telling My ColdFusion Connector/J JDBC MySql Connection String To Use UTC

Read Original

The author details a problem where date/time values stored from ColdFusion into a MySQL database were 5 hours off, despite using UTC conversions. After investigation, the issue was traced to the Connector/J JDBC driver's timezone handling. The solution involved modifying the JDBC connection string with specific parameters like `connectionTimeZone` and `preserveInstants` to ensure proper UTC time synchronization between the application and the database.
