Get datetime field value in a specific timezone when using direct sql query with Dynamics

Posted on by AbdiasM

I'm using a direct sql query to fetch datetime fields from Dynamics 365. It returns the datetime values in UTC (as stored in the Sql DB). Is there a way to get the datetime field value in a specific time zone (E.g. EST or JST) when using sql query?

RE: Get datetime field value in a specific timezone when using direct sql query with Dynamics

SQL is registered in UTC and displayed in the Dynamics 365 UI according to the time zone set by the user.

It may be possible to convert the time in a SQL query.

Thanks. I'm aware of this solution. I want to know if there's any solution that Microsoft dynamics provides out-of-the-box.
