Date in EST

  • I am replacing my "end date" to getdate () when it is null.Something like below

    isnull(temp.end_time,GETDATE()) as Analysis_time

    but my "start date" and end time is in EST conversion. And when there is null I am getting the getdate() in CST, where as I want the getdate to be also in EST.

    How can we replace it??

    can we do it like this??

    isnull(temp.end_time,datediff("HH",-6,GETDATE()))

  • Central time is one hour behind Eastern time, why not just add an hour to getdate()?

  • There are options beyond GetDate that may be more appropriate. Check here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188383.aspx

    Some of them include the time offset from UTC, so you can easily use those for EST/CST/EDT/CDT/Arizona-time/etc.
