Doug Kline has a video and T-SQL script around date/time offsets and particularly the SWITCHOFFSET function:
— so, before SWITCHOFFSET existed, …
SELECT SWITCHOFFSET(SYSDATETIMEOFFSET(),'-05:00') AS [EST the easy way], TODATETIMEOFFSET(DATEADD(HOUR, -5, SYSDATETIMEOFFSET()), '-05:00') AS [EST the hard way]— so, thinking of a DATETIMEOFFSET data type as a complex object
— with many different parts: year, month, day, hour, time zone, etc.
— it looks like SWITCHOFFSET changes two things: time zone and hour
This was an interesting video. I typically think entirely in UTC and let the calling application convert to time zones as needed, but if that’s not an option for you, knowing about SWITCHOFFSET() is valuable.
