This is what I was looking for, however the JDBC does something to make its timezone the default.
My cluster is set to GMT, I have a DB that is set to US/Pacific, when I get the connection from JDBC it is US/Eastern. The reset command does not affect it. I can set timezone in the code to 'US/Pacific" and I see it change, when I do another RESET timezone it goes back to US/Eastern.
Thanks,
