Hi All,

After some digging I found that JDBC converts the dates to a string using a
timezone offset set on the server... bloody windows.  why it would only do
it at that time is completely beyond me.

I decided to cast the dateTime field as a varchar, and voila - it gave me
exactly what I need.

I feel it's a large bag of poo, and we should all use UTC and change our
dates accordingly based on the timezone offset :)  Atleast it would be right
all the time then :)

hi All,

I have some data in a sql server 2000 database that looks like:

startDate (dateTimefield)     endDateI (dateTimeField)
'2007-03-25 01:52:32.000'    '2007-03-25 02:05:32.000'
'2007-03-25 00:52: 32.000'    '2007-03-25 01:05:32.000'

When I query the database in cf the resultset returned looks like this:

startDate (dateTimefield)     endDateI (dateTimeField)
'2007-03-25 02:52:32.000'    '2007-03-25 02:05:32.000'
'2007-03-25 00:52:32.000'    '2007-03-25 02:05:32.000'

As you can see the first line startDate is an hour ahead of what's in the
db.  Also notice the second record - it now has an edDate that is an hour
ahead of what's being stored.

I've been through the knowledge base and check it updated the jvm incase
it's some screwy timezone thing, but that didn't make a difference...

We do know that if the record started and end before 2am it's ok and an
hour ahead - this is fine.  If the record started and ended after 2am it's
also fine.

Any idea why this maybe happening, and could it be something to do with
the JDBC connection settings?

I know this problem occurs for UK BST time, but I wouldn't expect
Coldfusion to assume it knows how I want to handle this, as the data is
correct in sql server.

Thanks,

Tom
