Thread: Datetime and GMT Issue

Datetime and GMT Issue Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Posted: 06 Mar 09 8:30 AM

I created a view in the SalesLogix database for Opportunities. The view includes the estimatedclose field - a datetime field. The problem is that when I use the view to create an Opportunity group, the estimatedclose datetime field is NOT reflecting the correct date. For example, if an opportunity has an estimated close of 4/1/2009 the list view shows the date as 3/31/2009. I know this has to do with the SLX OLEDB provider not calculating the stored date value (GMT 0) to the time zone on my computer (GMT -5). Two questions

Why is the provider not doing the conversion for a view?

I need the date field shown to be accurate. How do I modify the view to calculate the estimated datetime field to the local machines time zone? There will be PCs in different time zones so the calculation in the view has to be dynamic based on the local PCs time zone.

Thanks,
John G.

SLX OleDBProvider resolves timezone data in a VIEW? didn't/don't know that.

Opportunity.EstimatedClose is a DateTime DataType per the SecTableDefs entry? Ours is a 'D', DateOnly field. I've never worried about the TIME that a deal was going to close, only the Date.

So you are storing 4/1/2009 00:00:00 in an SLX ONLY THROUGH OLE DB PROVIDER datetime field.....SLX leaves it alone at 4/1/2009 and the rest of the SQL world provides your regional settings offset to Midnight and makes it yesterday.....

Understand that completely......

What happens if you store Opportunity.EstimatedClose at DATEVALUE(Opportunity.EstimatedClose) & " 23:59:05 " kinds of stuff.....I'll bet you don't have the issue.
