title: Will changing a MySQL timezone change values of DateTime fields in a database?
body: <p>I have a MySQL database that is set to a local time zone. Times are inserted as UTC time although the database uses a different time zone. I would like to change the time zone to UTC on the MySQL server. I have found documentation on how to do this, but am reluctant as I do not know if that would also change the values that are already stored in the Database. </p>
  
  <p><strong>My Question:</strong> Will changing the time zone of a MySQL server also change the values that are already stored?</p>
