The Answer by assylias is correct. This Answer adds some thoughts triggered by a comment on that Answer. The comment referred to calculating elapsed time over the midnight when a Leap Second is scheduled. This Answer does address the original Question as well by pointing out that for practical usage, the issue of Leap Second … Read more
Simple Cast to Date will resolve the problem. DECLARE @Date datetime=”04/01/2016 12:01:31″ DECLARE @Date2 datetime=”04/01/2016″ SELECT CAST(@Date as date) SELECT CASE When (CAST(@Date as date) = CAST(@Date2 as date)) Then 1 Else 0 End
In addition to what @Slam has already answered: If you want to output the UTC time without any offset, you can do from datetime import timezone, datetime, timedelta d = datetime(2009, 4, 19, 21, 12, tzinfo=timezone(timedelta(hours=-2))) d.astimezone(timezone.utc).strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f’) See datetime.astimezone in the Python docs.
tl;dr Always use ISO 8601 format: 2019-11-14T00:55:31.820Z Avoid the legacy format of RFC 1123 & 822: Thu, 14 Nov 2019 00:55:16 GMT UTC & GMT are time-keeping, not formats UTC and GMT are not formats. UTC and GMT are two slightly different ways of tracking time. This is a complicated topic, so see the Wikipedia … Read more
There is no implicit timezone attached to a DateTime object. If you run ToUniversalTime() on it, it uses the timezone of the context that the code is running in. For example, if I create a DateTime from the epoch of 1/1/1970, it gives me the same DateTime object no matter where in the world I … Read more
Here is one approach you might consider: First, define this following attribute: [AttributeUsage(AttributeTargets.Property)] public class DateTimeKindAttribute : Attribute { private readonly DateTimeKind _kind; public DateTimeKindAttribute(DateTimeKind kind) { _kind = kind; } public DateTimeKind Kind { get { return _kind; } } public static void Apply(object entity) { if (entity == null) return; var properties = … Read more
from datetime import datetime, timezone datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime(“%Y%m%d”) Or as Davidism pointed out, this would also work: from datetime import datetime datetime.utcnow().strftime(“%Y%m%d”) I prefer the first approach, as it gets you in the habit of using timezone aware datetimes – but as J.F. Sebastian pointed out – it requires Python 3.2+. The second approach will work in … Read more
The DateTime object itself is being created with the proper UTC time. But when PowerShell prints it out it converts it to my local culture and time zone, thus the difference. Proof: $UtcTime = Get-Date -Date “1970-01-01 00:00:00Z” $UtcTime.ToUniversalTime()
After some further research, it appears this is a known issue. The gson default serializer always defaults to your local timezone, and doesn’t allow you to specify the timezone. See the following link….. https://code.google.com/p/google-gson/issues/detail?id=281 The solution is to create a custom gson type adaptor as demonstrated in the link: // this class can’t be static … Read more
Instead of calling DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime() you can call DateTime.UtcNow Same thing but shorter 🙂 Documentation here.
