I want to change the default time zone for SQL Warehoue in the SQL Persona, in Databricks.

When I try to Edit the SQL warehouse settings in the "SQL Warehouses" section, I am not able to find any setting where I can set the time zone.

I am aware that I can set the time zone by running the query "SET TIME ZONE 'GMT+10';" in the query editor. But, I need to run this command every time I start the SQL warehouse.

I don't want to repeat the above command every time I run a query in the query editor. Instead, I want to set the local time zone as the default time zone of the SQL warehouse.

Any idea how to do that?

The system default is `UTC.

The TIMEZONE configuration parameter controls the local timezone used for timestamp operations within a session.

You can set this parameter at the session level using the SET statement and at the global level using SQL configuration parameters or the SQL Warehouse API.

An alternative way to set the session timezone is using the SET TIME ZONE statement.
