Hello, i have a table that contains datetime entries which are stored in GMT. Now I would like to convert these datetime values in a select statement to local time. I first thought of someting like this (in germany DST starts at 2004-03-29 02:00:00 and ends "2004-10-31 03:00:00" this year. The difference from GMT to local time is 1h and from GMT to local DST time 2h):
SELECT if(datetime between "2004-03-29 02:00:00" AND "2004-10-31 03:00:00", DATE_ADD(datetime, INTERVAl 2 HOUR), DATE_ADD(datetime, INTERVAL 1 HOUR) ) FROM table ... ... This basically works but of course only if the select statement return rows with datetime entries in the year 2004. Eg if there are rows with a datetime field of "2003-xx-xx" then the statement from above will fail. Is there any more general way to do such a timezone conversion or is the only solution to let the application to this work that reads the MYSQL output?
