To change the timezone sitting on your Dbeaver, by default it shows the timestamp in local time zone and if we want to force UTC or a specific timezone, follow the below steps.

Since this file is overwritten when you reinstall or upgrade, You’ll have to redo this for every version upgrade.

If you are on a Mac

  • Go to Finder > Applications
  • Right click on DBeaver and select Show Package Contents
  • Open Contents\Eclipse\dbeaver.ini
  • After the -vmargs line, add this: -Duser.timezone=UTC
  • Save file and restart DBeaver

If you are on a Windows System

  • Go to DBeaver install directory C:\Program Files\DBeaver
  • Open dbeaver.ini
  • After the -vmargs line, add this: -Duser.timezone=UTC
  • Save file and restart DBeaver
