Typically, yes.
It is possible you don't have the time zone tables populated.
"America/Bahia" works for me, so I suspect that is the case.
The relevant manual page to load this data (assuming your server is
running in a unix environment) is here:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysql-tzinfo-to-sql.html
If it is running in a Windows environment:
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/timezones.html

A suggestion I was given is to use the mySQL "CONVERT_TZ" command with
the PHP time zone names. But when I do:
SELECT CONVERT_TZ( `journal_entry`.`occurance_date` , 'GMT',
'America/Bahia' ) FROM `journal_entry`
I am receiving "NULL" as the resulting date. Does mySQL accept PHP
time zone names?
