Description (last modified by Klaas van Schelven)

To test whether a mysql server has the zoneinfo database loaded (feature name: has_zoneinfo_database), the following code is run:

CONVERT_TZ('2001-01-01 01:00:00', 'UTC', 'UTC') IS NOT NULL

However, this test is not actually used (i.e. there is no condition on the feature being True) when generating sql, despite the fact that the generated sql contains something that we know will evaluate to NULL, namely, the very same CONVERT_TZ mentioned in the above.

This shows up when filtering like so:

Foo.objects(some_datetimefield__date="2023-06-16")

which evaluates to the empty queryset, despite there being such objects. USE_TZ = True, obviously
