What is the sql server query to retrieve current time stamp with us/central time zone?
You need both local and remote timezones, so Oracle can calculate the difference e.g.
SELECT FROM_TZ(CAST(sysdate AS TIMESTAMP), 'America/New_York')
AT TIME ZONE 'America/Los_Angeles'
FROM DUAL;
30.10.14 08:45:08,000000000 AMERICA/LOS_ANGELES
and
SELECT FROM_TZ(CAST(sysdate AS TIMESTAMP), 'America/New_York')
AT TIME ZONE 'America/Chicago'
FROM DUAL;
30.10.14 10:46:17,000000000 AMERICA/CHICAGO
You can get the list of timezone names with this:
SELECT tzname, tzabbrev FROM V$TIMEZONE_NAMES;
so you can do this:
SELECT FROM_TZ(CAST(sysdate AS TIMESTAMP), 'America/New_York')
AT TIME ZONE 'US/Central'
FROM DUAL;
assuming you are in New York.
If this is for SQL Server 2008 or above, this will provide the time at a specific timezone offset. I don't know if you can provide a timezone name, and using this method, you'll have to handle daylight savings yourself.
declare #dt datetimeoffset = switchoffset(convert(datetimeoffset, getutcdate()), '-06:00')
select getutcdate() as utc, #dt as [datetimeoffset], cast(#dt as datetime) as [datetime]
Time zone support was added with SQL Server 2016. You can now do this:
SELECT SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'Central Standard Time'
Note that the identifier Central Standard Time is the Windows time zone ID for Central Time in US and Canada. It is inclusive of both CST and CDT.

I have code in postgresql transform to sql server
In postgresql while inserting in table with data type timestamp with time zone in UTC format, it inserted with time zone
create table public.testt123 (tz timestamp with time zone)
insert into public.testt123
select now() at time zone 'utc'
select * from public.testt123
enter image description here
I have tried same with Sql server, below query
create table Test1(tz [datetimeoffset](7))
insert into Test1
select GETUTCDATE() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC'
enter image description here
It inserted without time zone, I have check using SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() but it gives time zone with current datetime not UTC
I have tried by left function, but it is correct way?
Select cast(left(SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC',28) + DATENAME(TZOFFSET, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()) as [datetimeoffset](7))
enter image description here
Based on the comments, I suspect what you want is:
SELECT SYSUTCDATETIME() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'India Standard Time';
Though this could be abbreviated to:
SELECT SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'India Standard Time';
I have check using SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() but it gives time zone with
current datetime not UTC
Correct, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() returns a datetimeoffset but with the current UTC offset of the database server. Specify AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' to get a datetimeoffset with the UTC time with a zero offset:
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC'
I have stored procedure which inserts data into some table. There is a column say pick up time (datatype datetime). Now the time is in datetime format I want the stored procedure to store datetime to UTC zone timing.
How to do it in the stored procedure?
There are several ways to get the UTC time. Which you use depends on what you need:
SELECT GETUTCDATE(), --datetime
SYSUTCDATETIME(), --datetime2(7)
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'UTC'; --datetimeoffset(7)
This is simple to achieve using GETUTCDATE() as shown:
SELECT GETUTCDATE()
Output:
2021-06-02 12:55:01.213
As per the description in the docs:
Returns the current database system timestamp as a datetime value. The
database time zone offset is not included. This value represents the
current UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time). This value is derived
from the operating system of the computer on which the instance of SQL
Server is running.
SELECT GETDATE() AS PickUpTime, GETUTCDATE() AS UTCTime
Use GETUTCDATE() function in the Insert statement inside your stored procedure:
Insert into MyTable (PickUp_Col)
values (GETUTCDATE() )
I want to convert UTC value to Eastern Time Zone (any time zone) in SQL directly. I am trying below query but getting DATETIMEOFFSET.
I am trying to convert below UTC DateTime into Eastern time zone.
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,'2019-05-27 13:00:00' AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time'
I am expecting output for above query is '2019-05-27 09:00:00' but the actual output is coming like '2019-05-27 13:00:00 -04:00'
you can do this
select CONVERT(datetime, SWITCHOFFSET(CONVERT(datetimeoffset, '2019-05-27 13:00:00'), DATEPART(TZOFFSET,
SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time')))
You're close. So far, you've told SQL Server the native time zone for the datetime that you've passed in. Now you need to tell it to convert it to something else. This should do the trick:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME,'2019-05-27 13:00:00')
AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time'
AT TIME ZONE 'UTC';
This should give you something with the -00:00 offset. If you don't want that, cast the result back to a time zone-less datatype.
I want to add my time zone with the function GETUTCDATE() in SQL Server. I searched several times, but did not found any relevant solution. Thanks in advance.
only for sql 2016, it takes into account daylight savings.
CREATE FUNCTION GetBelgiumTime
(
)
RETURNS datetime2
AS BEGIN
declare #dateoffset datetimeoffset
SET #dateoffset = convert(VARCHAR(2000),(SELECT GETUTCDATE() AT TIME ZONE 'Central European Standard Time'),126 )
declare #date datetime2
set #date = convert(datetime2, LEFT(#dateoffset,28),126)
set #date = DATEADD(HOUR, convert(int,LEFT(RIGHT(#dateoffset,5), 2)), #date)
RETURN #date
END
select dbo.GetBelgiumTime() as BelgiumDateAndTime
From SQL Server 2016 forward (and Azure SQL DB), you can do this:
SELECT SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AT TIME ZONE #tz
where #tz is a valid Windows time zone identifier, such as 'Pacific Standard Time', 'Central European Standard Time', etc.
However, if you are on an older version of SQL Server, or prefer to use IANA time zone identifiers, you can use my SQL Server Time Zone Support project to do the following:
SELECT Tzdb.UtcToLocal(GETUTCDATE(), #tz)
where #tz is an IANA standard time zone name, such as 'America/Los_Angeles' or 'Europe/Budapest'.
Use GETDATE() instead GETUTCDATE(). see this link
You can try to use switchoffset like this:
select switchoffset(CAST(myDate as datetimeoffset),'+05:30') from someTable
Instead of '+05:30' you can specify your timezone value.
If you want to use the timezone with GETUTCDATE() then simply add it like this
select cast(GETUTCDATE() as varchar(20)) + '+5:30'
and if you want to keep it as date only then
select switchoffset(CAST(GETUTCDATE() as datetimeoffset),'+05:30')
When I execute the following, when the server's TimeZone is +01:00:
Convert(datetime, '2015-02-10T23:00:00Z', 127)
The result is:
10.02.2015 23:00:00
That is the Date at UTC-0. My expected value would be 11.02.2015 00:00:00, that is the date converted to the server's TimeZone.
Convert function doesn't convert time to UTC. It just simply changes the format of the input string. Here is what you need to do.
Find difference in hours between server local time and UTC time:
DECLARE #hour INT
SELECT #hour = DATEDIFF(HOUR, GETUTCDATE(), GETDATE())
Add the difference to the date you're trying to convert:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, DATEADD(hour, #hour, '2015-02-10T23:00:00Z'), 127)
If you know your timezone difference in hours and you know that it's unlikely to be changed, then use a shorter version:
SELECT CONVERT(DATETIME, DATEADD(hour, -1, '2015-02-10T23:00:00Z'), 127)
You shouldn't really depend on the time zone setting of a server. However, if you have a specific time zone in mind, you could use my SQL Server Time Zone Support project.
After installation:
SELECT Tzdb.UtcToLocal('2015-02-10T23:00:00Z', 'Europe/Paris')
