TIMEZONE

Timezone for evaluating the cron expression.

Category: schedule-clauses

Syntax

TIMEZONE 'Europe/London'

Description

The TIMEZONE clause specifies the IANA timezone identifier used to evaluate the CRON expression. The value must be a valid IANA timezone string enclosed in single quotes (for example, 'America/New_York' or 'Asia/Tokyo'). When omitted, the cron expression is evaluated in UTC. This clause is particularly important for schedules that must align with local business hours or daylight saving time transitions. It affects only the interpretation of the CRON firing times and does not alter timestamp values within the pipeline's SQL statements.
