    The reason is that a datetime in SQL is saved as a universal time that also includes the timezone.

    The date in NAV shows the datetime in your timezone.

    please help to sort out the issue. SQL query is showing 11 am and NAV table is showing 3.50 pm in time field

    Warm Regards

    Hi

    As Teddy mention before, "The reason is that a datetime in SQL is saved as a universal time that also includes the timezone. The date in NAV shows the datetime in your timezone."

    This is according to server configuration, but you can try do this:

    SELECT column_name,DATEADD(mi, DATEDIFF(mi, GETUTCDATE(), GETDATE()), column_name)  AS ColumnInLocalTime from table1

    With this query, you can see the correct time (local)

    Best regards.
