This makes SQLite unusable for such a use case I propose to introduce a compile time option so that the actual time zone settings are always respected.

Juli 2015 10:43 An: 'General Discussion of SQLite Database' Betreff: Re: [sqlite] changed time zone AFAICT the windows implementation of localtime() will honour the settings of the environment variables TZ, _timezone, _daylight and _tzname. The environment variables of a process are set (copied from the parent process) on process creation. Subsequent changes in the parent process are NOT reflected in the child process. The localtime() will check the date/time setting in the control panel only if the TZ environment variable is NOT set. I was unable to determine if this lookup is performed once on the first call and then cached (likely) or on each call. -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: Bruno Schw?gli (CTModule AG) [mailto:bruno.schwaegli at ctmodule.com] Gesendet: Donnerstag, 23. Juli 2015 10:12 An: 'sqlite-users at mailinglists.sqlite.org' Betreff: [sqlite] changed time zone Hello We use SQLite in an environment (ships) where a time zone change can happen during normal operation. We then set the time zone of the system (windows) accordingly. Running SQLite instances do not respect this change. So Time('now') and Time('now', 'localtime') still return the same values but in my opinion Time('now', 'localtime') should respect the new time zone. Steps to reproduce: select Time('now'), Time('now', 'localtime') then change the time zone in the os (windows) to some other value and do again the above select in the same still running instance Test environment: SQLite Version 3.8.10.2 OS: Windows 7 Thanks and best regards Bruno Schw?gli PS.
