However, this test is not actually used (i.e. there is no condition on the
feature being True) when [generating
sql](https://github.com/django/django/blob/main/django/db/backends/mysql/operations.py#L94),
despite the fact that the generated sql contains something that we know
will evaluate to `NULL`
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.

Comment:
Duplicate of e.g. #33075.
When `USE_TZ` is `True`, fields are converted to the current time zone
before filtering (see
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/models/querysets/#date
__date docs]). This requires
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/ref/models/querysets/#database-
time-zone-definitions time zone definitions in the database] as documented
(in both places).

Comment (by Klaas van Schelven):
"silently behaving incorrectly rather than failing explicitly, but
documented" is an unsatisfactory answer to me, but I do admit that the
point may be broader than the single weird behavior that I ran into.
Couldn't we turn this into a django system check or similar?
