Hi,

I'm trying to insert a date/time into sql 7.

The problem is that the variable holding the date/time is in utc format.

Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Thanks in advance

Mark
 
I found this (on Google):

New: CURRENT UTC TIMESTAMP special value.
Combines CURRENT DATE and CURRENT TIME, adjusted by the server's time zone adjustment value, to form a Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) TIMESTAMP value containing the year, month, day, hour, minute, second and fraction of a second. This feature allows data to be entered with a consistent time reference, regardless of the time zone in which the data was entered.

SELECT CURRENT TIMESTAMP,
CURRENT UTC TIMESTAMP,
PROPERTY ( 'TimeZoneAdjustment' );

-- Result: 2001-12-30 10:51:37.012 2001-12-30 15:51:37.012 -300
