The Database Service uses an ISO-8601 compliant date format for the display and consumption of date/time values.
The system timezone is in UTC. MySQL converts TIMESTAMP values from the current time zone to UTC for storage, and back from UTC to the current time zone for retrieval. This does not occur for other types, such as DATETIME.
Example 3.2. DB Service Date/Time Format
