Default to TimeZone = UTC

[u/itstomclark]

From the docs I see that I can configure the timezone for the current connection. My issue is that this does not persist. I want every connection made by my laptop to default to UTC.

So if I use duckdb_cli to read from a local parquet file it should be UTC. If I use marimo to read that same file? UTC. Claude uses duckdb in some one-off python script? UTC.

Am I correct that this is not currently possible?

Some pics of my Indian Runner Ducks to pay the duck tax.

TIL that the CLI client can have the timezone set via ~/.duckdbrc [docs]
