title: How to change AWS RDS Postgres database timezone?
body: <p>I am trying to change the RDS timezone to UTC,<br>
  I'm using an SQL Client called <strong>DBeaver</strong><br></p>
  
  <p><strong>I tried the following two commands -</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>1. Configuration Parameter Name -</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>SET timezone TO 'UTC';
  </code></pre>

  <p><strong>2. Standard SQL Command -</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>SET TIME ZONE 'UTC';
  </code></pre>
