Syntax

TODATETIMEOFFSET (expression,time_zone)

Arguments

  • expression
    Is an expression that resolves to a datetime2 value.

    Note

    The expression cannot be of type text, ntext, or image because these types cannot be implicitly converted to varchar or nvarchar.

  • time_zone
    Is an expression that represents the time zone offset in minutes. The range is +14 to -13. The expression is interpreted in local time for the specified time_zone.

    Note

    If expression is a character string, it must be in the format {+|-}TZH:THM.

Return Type

datetimeoffset. The fractional precision is the same as the datetime argument.

DECLARE @todaysDateTime Datetime2
SELECT @todaysDateTime = GetDate();

-- RETURNS 2007-08-30 15:51:34.7030000 -07:00

B. Changing the time zone offset in minutes

The following example changes the current time zone to -120 minutes.

DECLARE @todaysDate Datetime2
