Udførte nogle enhedstests for at besvare mit eget spørgsmål i alle fire dele.
###1:Gemmer SQL Server DateTime.UtcNow i overensstemmelse hermed, eller forskyder den den igen baseret på tidszonen for, hvor serveren er installeret, og returnerer den derefter offset-reverseret, når den bliver spurgt? Udførte denne):
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Resultatet af dette kl. 13.30 lokal tid (-7 timer eller 20.30 UTC) var:
Jun 3 2010 8:30PM
Så prøvede jeg dette:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("change time zone to utc");
Console.ReadLine();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Console.WriteLine("change time zone back to local");
Den blev udført kl. 21:25 UTC og vendte tilbage

Sammenlign dette med DateTime.Now:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.Now));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("change time zone to utc");
Console.ReadLine();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Console.WriteLine("change time zone back to local");
Udført kl. 15:55 (lokalt; -7 timer), returneret:
Jun 3 2010 3:55PM
###2:Så jeg forespørger efter det og caster det fra objekt til en DateTime efter at have hentet det fra f.eks. en IDataReader-kolonne. Ved dette castede System.DateTime-objekt allerede, at det er en UTC DateTime-forekomst, eller antager det, at det er blevet forskudt?
Heller ikke.
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT val value FROM testtbl";
var retval = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Kind: " + retval.Kind);
Console.WriteLine("UTC: " + retval.ToUniversalTime().ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Local: " + retval.ToLocalTime().ToString());
Resultatet af dette (udført kl. 13:58 lokal tid) var:
Kind: Unspecified
UTC: 6/4/2010 3:58:42 AM
Local: 6/3/2010 1:58:42 PM
Det vil sige .ToUniversalTime() endte med at forskyde fra lokal tid til UTC-tid ikke én, men to gange (??), og .ToLocalTime() endte med slet ikke at udligne.
###3:Giver ADO.NET forskydningen videre til SQL Server, og gemmer SQL Server DateTime.Now med offset-metadataene?
Uden at udføre nogen enhedstest er svaret allerede kendt for at være "kun med DateTimeOffset" SQL-typen. SQL's datetime laver ikke forskydninger.
###4:Ved dette castede System.DateTime-objekt allerede, at det er et offset-tidspunkt, eller antager det, at det er UTC?
Ingen af dem. SQL's DateTimeOffset-type returneres som en .NET DateTimeOffset-struktur.
Følgende blev udført kl. 15:31 lokal tid, hvor kolonnen offval er en datetimeoffset SQL-type,
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (offval) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.Now));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT offval value FROM testtbl";
object retvalobj = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Type: " + retvalobj.GetType().Name);
var retval = (DateTimeOffset)retvalobj;
Console.WriteLine("ToString(): " + retval.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("UTC: " + retval.ToUniversalTime().ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Local: " + retval.ToLocalTime().ToString());
Dette resulterede i:
Type: DateTimeOffset
ToString(): 6/3/2010 3:31:47 PM +00:00
UTC: 6/3/2010 3:31:47 PM +00:00
Local: 6/3/2010 8:31:47 AM -07:00
En overraskende forskel.
Ved at gå tilbage og udføre testen for spørgsmål #1 ovenfor ved hjælp af DateTime.Now i stedet for DateTime.UtcNow, validerede jeg, at ADO.NET IKKE konverterer til universel tid før lagring i databasen.
Det vil sige, dette blev udført kl. 15:27 lokal tid (-7 timer):
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.Now));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("change time zone to utc");
Console.ReadLine();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Console.WriteLine("change time zone back to local");
.. returneret ..

Udfører dette kl. 15:17 lokal tid:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT val FROM testtbl";
var result = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Kind: " + result.Kind);
Console.WriteLine("ToString(): " + result.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is greater than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) > DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is greater than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) > DateTime.Now).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is less than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) < DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is less than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) < DateTime.Now).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is greater than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) > DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is greater than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) > DateTime.Now).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is less than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) < DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is less than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) < DateTime.Now).ToString());
