body: <p>I keep getting the same error in my console about timezones, but I never attempt to set the timezone in my code.</p>

  <p>Error message in console:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Connection Failed! Check output consolejava.sql.SQLException: The server time zone value 'PDT' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support.</p>
