Question

I have a column which is of datetime data type. It contains few entries. So while getting the value from the select statement I want to output with Time zone. Please help me

for example

2007-05-08 12:35:29.1234567 +05:30 (GMT)

Answer 1

Cast it to dtaetimeoffset like

select CAST(dt as datetimeoffset)  from test

EDIT:

you can then use SWITCHOFFSET to get into the specified timezone. For your example

select switchoffset(CAST(dt as datetimeoffset),'+05:30')  from test 

Results in 2011-11-24 23:26:30.0600000 +05:30
