## Synopsis

`yb_server_zone()` returns the zone that a user's server is connected to.

## Examples

Select the zone that you're connected to:

```plpgsql
yugabyte=# SELECT yb_server_zone();
```

```output.sql
 yb_server_zone
-----------------
 us-west-1c
(1 row)
```

## Usage in Row-level geo-partitioning

Similar to [`yb_server_region()`](../func_yb_server_region), this function is also helpful while implementing [Row-level geo-partitioning](../../../../../explore/multi-region-deployments/row-level-geo-partitioning/), as it can significantly simplify inserting rows from the user server's partition if the partitioning is based on default value of yb_server_zone().
