SWITCHOFFSET (Transact-SQL)

Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

Returns a datetimeoffset value that is changed from the stored time zone offset to a specified new time zone offset.

Transact-SQL syntax conventions

Syntax

SWITCHOFFSET ( datetimeoffset_expression, timezoneoffset_expression )   

Arguments

datetimeoffset_expression
Is an expression that can be resolved to a datetimeoffset(n) value.

timezoneoffset_expression
Is an expression in the format [+|-]TZH:TZM or a signed integer (of minutes) that represents the time zone offset, and is assumed to be daylight-saving aware and adjusted.

Return Type

datetimeoffset with the fractional precision of the datetimeoffset_expression argument.

Remarks

Use SWITCHOFFSET to select a datetimeoffset value into a time zone offset that is different from the time zone offset that was originally stored. SWITCHOFFSET does not update the stored time_zone value.

SWITCHOFFSET can be used to update a datetimeoffset column.

Using SWITCHOFFSET with the function GETDATE() can cause the query to run slowly. This is because the query optimizer is unable to obtain accurate cardinality estimates for the datetime value. To resolve this problem, use the OPTION (RECOMPILE) query hint to force the query optimizer to recompile a query plan the next time the same query is executed. The optimizer will then have accurate cardinality estimates and will produce a more efficient query plan. For more information about the RECOMPILE query hint, see Query Hints (Transact-SQL).

DECLARE @dt datetimeoffset = switchoffset (CONVERT(datetimeoffset, GETDATE()), '-04:00');   
SELECT * FROM t    
WHERE c1 > @dt OPTION (RECOMPILE);  

Examples

The following example uses SWITCHOFFSET to display a different time zone offset than the value stored in the database.

CREATE TABLE dbo.test   
    (  
    ColDatetimeoffset datetimeoffset  
    );  
GO  
INSERT INTO dbo.test   
VALUES ('1998-09-20 7:45:50.71345 -5:00');  
GO  
SELECT SWITCHOFFSET (ColDatetimeoffset, '-08:00')   
FROM dbo.test;  
GO  
--Returns: 1998-09-20 04:45:50.7134500 -08:00  
SELECT ColDatetimeoffset  
FROM dbo.test;  
--Returns: 1998-09-20 07:45:50.7134500 -05:00
