Your task is to write an SQL query that uses SQL's time constants to dynamically determine the timezone the database server is configured to use. Your query should return the timezone as a single string value with the timezone offset relative to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The single output column should be named tz_offset, and the value should be in the form: UTC: where and use two digits in 24-hour format, padded with leading zeroes if necessary. Example: if the server used India's timezone the output should be: | tz_offset | +--- | UTC+05:30 | (1 row)
SQL
SQL stands for Structured Query Language, is a form of communication that uses queries structured in a specific format to store, manage & retrieve data from a relational database.
Queries
A query is a type of computer programming language that is used to retrieve data from a database. Databases are useful in a variety of ways. They enable the retrieval of records or parts of records, as well as the performance of various calculations prior to displaying the results. A search query is one type of query that many people perform several times per day. A search query is executed every time you use a search engine to find something. When you press the Enter key, the keywords are sent to the search engine, where they are processed by an algorithm that retrieves related results from the search index. Your query's results are displayed on a search engine results page, or SER.
