MySQL boxfile.yml Config Request: default-time-zone

[pablorsk]

It would be very helpful to be able to set the default-time-zone, because on every service restart we need run this query

SET GLOBAL time_zone = '-3:00'

If a config is not necesary, what's the way to set timezone on mysql? (like PHP)

Our plan is to ultimately auto-set time zone info throughout an app's components, at the app level. So you'd set the time zone in your dashboard when setting up your app, then deploy. For existing apps, you'd want to rebuild your data components, then redeploy your code components.

That said, we may be able to expose this configuration option in the meantime. 😊

@danhunsaker, It's a great idea, and better than mine. For now, I undestarnd, we don't have any alernative to set timezone on Mysql, like PHP. rigth?
