I am trying to convert a json timestamp to a different timezone.
if i put the literal date it works fine but returns a null when i use a json_extract nested inside the convert_tz.
Is it possible to nest the json_extract in convert_tz?

root@localhost percona> select json_extract(info, “$.audit_record.timestamp”) from audit_data where id = (select max(id) from percona.audit_data);
±-----------------------------------------------+
| json_extract(info, “$.audit_record.timestamp”) |
±-----------------------------------------------+
| “2022-11-08T22:55:30Z” |
±-----------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

root@localhost percona> select convert_tz(“2022-11-08T22:55:30Z”,‘+00:00’, ‘-7:00’);
±-----------------------------------------------------+
| convert_tz(“2022-11-08T22:55:30Z”,‘+00:00’, ‘-7:00’) |
±-----------------------------------------------------+
| 2022-11-08 15:55:30 |
±-----------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

root@localhost percona> select CONVERT_TZ(json_extract(info, “$.audit_record.timestamp”),‘+00:00’,‘-7:00’) from audit_data where id = (select max(id) from percona.audit_data);
±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CONVERT_TZ(json_extract(info, “$.audit_record.timestamp”),‘+00:00’,‘-7:00’) |
±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| NULL |
±----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Try using JSON_UNQUOTE(JSON_EXTRACT(...)) because there are quotes around your timestamp in the first example. Also, you have warnings on the last 2 examples. Type SHOW WARNINGS and see what else is wrong.

thanks for being eagle eyed vs my being blind to the quotes.
pretty sure you are correct.

also the warning is “Truncated incorrect datetime value: ‘2022-11-08T22:55:30Z’”
but that is ok for me.
