Supabase Database Invalid time zone displacement value error.

The time zone displacement value provided is not valid or incorrectly formatted.

Understanding Supabase Database

Supabase is an open-source backend-as-a-service platform that provides developers with a suite of tools to build applications quickly. It offers a real-time database, authentication, storage, and more, all built on top of PostgreSQL. Supabase is designed to be an alternative to Firebase, providing similar functionalities but with the power and flexibility of SQL.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Supabase Database, you might encounter an error with the code 2200J. This error is typically accompanied by a message indicating an 'Invalid time zone displacement value'. This symptom suggests that there is an issue with the time zone configuration in your database queries or settings.

Common Scenarios

  • Attempting to set a time zone with an incorrect offset format.
  • Using a time zone that is not recognized by the database.

Explaining the Issue

The error code 2200J is specific to PostgreSQL, which underlies the Supabase Database. This error occurs when the time zone displacement value provided is not valid. Time zone displacement values are used to specify the difference in hours and minutes from UTC. An incorrect format or an unrecognized time zone can trigger this error.

Understanding Time Zone Displacement

Time zone displacement values should be in the format of ±HH:MM. For example, +05:30 represents a time zone that is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of UTC.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve the 2200J error, follow these steps:

1. Verify the Time Zone Format

Ensure that the time zone displacement value is correctly formatted. It should follow the ±HH:MM format. For example:

SET TIME ZONE '+05:30';

2. Use Recognized Time Zones

Make sure that the time zone you are using is recognized by PostgreSQL. You can check the list of supported time zones by executing the following query:

SELECT * FROM pg_timezone_names;

Refer to the PostgreSQL documentation for more details on time zone support.

3. Update Application Code

If the error is occurring due to application code, review the code to ensure that time zone values are being set correctly. For example, in a Node.js application using the node-postgres library, you can set the time zone as follows:

const { Client } = require('pg');
const client = new Client({
connectionString: process.env.DATABASE_URL,
timezone: 'UTC'
});
client.connect();

Conclusion

By ensuring that your time zone displacement values are correctly formatted and recognized by PostgreSQL, you can resolve the 2200J error in Supabase Database. For further assistance, consider visiting the Supabase documentation or the PostgreSQL documentation for more in-depth guidance.
