I have an SQL database connected to an Azure server, the timezone is set to UTC and the location is set to UK south, when I run the CURRENT_TIMESTAMP command on the SQL database it returns a time at UTC-1:00. I assume this is an Azure based issue since when I run the same command on a locally hosted SQL server I get the correct timezone. Any advice on the matter would be greatly appreciated. All I can think is the location being set to UK south assumes I'm in some overseas UK territory hence giving the wrong timezone so my next step is to make a new database on azure to host it but change the location since you cant change it once it has been created.
This is the query on the azure server
This is the query on my local server. Both of these queries were made at 17:43 UTC
Here is the sample procedure to get CURRENT_TIMESTAMP in AZURE SQL DATABASE.
Creating MySql server with the UK south location according to the the timezone is set to UTC.
Currently, the default time zone on Azure SQL DB is UTC. Unfortunately, there is not possible to change by server configuration or database configuration.
Azure SQL Database does not support time zone settings; it always follows UTC.
Use AT TIME ZONE in SQL Database if you need to interpret date and time information in a non-UTC time zone.

Postgres 11
show timezone;
This gives me different values
- when I run it from DBeaver (shows America/New_York) vs.
- when I run it from PG Admin (shows UTC)
I run DBeaver and PG Admin from the same client machine.
I thought this was supposed to show me the server timezone.
Same for clock_timestamp() - I get different values.
Is this somehow related to the client OS timezone?
Or to some connection settings?
We're using an AWS RDS PostgreSQL instance which
is configured (as I checked) in UTC timezone.
What is the explanation?
I am really puzzled.
timezone is the timezone of the database session, not of the server.
It looks like DBeaver sets the parameter, while pgAdmin leaves it at its default value (whatever is configured on the server).
You can set the PGTZ environment variable to specify your desired PostgreSQL database session time zone.
I have SQL job and i want to change the time zone to a different time zone
Assuming you're asking about a schedule on a SQL Server Agent job, SQL Server Agent uses the timezone of the host machine. You have to either change the timezone of the host machine that the SQL Server instance is running on or manually make the adjustment in the job schedule.
I am facing an issue after we migrated our DB from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2012 in our production server. When we pass any date in yyyy-mm-dd format it changes it into yyyy-dd-mm and breaking all the applications. So in SQL itself datetime parameter in SP changed our value (to yyyy-dd-mm) passed from all our applications (live website and all other backend applications).
We have tried changing dbcc useroprions. Currently they are set like this:
language British
dateformat dmy
datefirst 1
We changed it to us-english but it does not work. Do I need to restart DB engine?
Kindly advise ASAP as it is affecting client. Thanks in advance
It worked after executing below SP.
sp_defaultlanguage 'DBUsername','us_english'
Thanks.
So in SQL server I have been storing my dates as UTC, I also have a localized timezone in the format of 'AUS Eastern Standard Time', for example.
Is it possible to calculate the correct datetime with just information in Sql Server?
You didn't provide you environment info so I am proposing this for sql server and windows server.
There is no simple method to do this. As far as I know SQL server does not have time zones it can access. However, Windows does have this information. You could access this in SQL with a SQL CLR user defined table valued function using the time zone info class from .net. Then you just have to add the time zone offset minutes from the CLR function to the UTC date.
I have an external content type in SharePoint 2010 pulling data from a SQL 2008R2 DB using BCS. All the data comes back fine but the Time stamp column is off by 2 hours when I compare the values displayed in the Read List with the values returned when I query the DB in Management Studio. I've attached a picture with an example:
The times displayed in the browser are 4 hours earlier than the Time stamp returned by Management Studio. I've checked the Date and Time settings on both the client and server and they are fine. Any ideas what could cause this?
Check the normalisation settings for your BDC.
Make sure you set it like this:
<TypeDescriptor TypeName="System.DateTime"
Name="YourDate" DefaultDisplayName="Your Date">
<Interpretation>
<NormalizeDateTime LobDateTimeMode="Local" />
</Interpretation>
</TypeDescriptor>

External Systems created through BCS use UTC as the time zone by default. Your SQl database inherits the time zone settings from Windows so crosscheck the server settings with you External Content Type properties and also your front-end SharePoint settings. Depending on you settings, if your user profile has a specified time zone, the time is converted from UTC to the user's time zone. If the time zone has not been specified (default) the time zone of the site on which the External Data is hosted is used.
