How do I store UTC timestamps in SQL?
You can store UTC timestamps in SQL using the DATETIME
or TIMESTAMP
data types. Make sure to set the timezone to UTC.
What’s the difference between DATETIME and TIMESTAMP?
DATETIME
stores the date and time without timezone information, while TIMESTAMP
stores it in UTC and converts it to the current timezone when queried.
How can I convert local time to UTC in SQL?
You can use the CONVERT_TZ()
function to convert local time to UTC. For example: CONVERT_TZ(your_datetime_column, 'local_time_zone', 'UTC')
.
Can I automatically store timestamps in UTC when inserting data?
Yes, you can set the default value of a TIMESTAMP
column to CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
which will store the time in UTC.
