I take the UTC date from the sqlserver.
I have to display the local date and time in the report.
How to convert the utc datetime format into local datetime in the expression?
I tried this
=System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime(Fields!DateTime.Value)
but doesn't work for me

By default MySQL will convert a [s]timestamp[/s] datetime that you input from your server's time zone to UTC automatically. However, my data is already in UTC despite my server being in EST. How do I force MySQL not to convert the inputted values from one time zone to another? Thanks.
I have a MySQL database that stores time in UTC. However, when I connect to it using MySQL Workbench I would like to see time in PST. I know I can use tz_convert to convert individual columns to PST. I was wondering is there any way I set the entire client session to a timezone so that I don't have to put tz_convert over every individual time columns.
Your column has to be of the type TIMESTAMP to be automatically converted to your local timestamp. As written in 10.6 MySQL Server Time Zone Support:
The current session time zone setting affects display and storage of time values that are zone-sensitive. This includes the values displayed by functions such as NOW() or CURTIME(), and values stored in and retrieved from TIMESTAMP columns. Values for TIMESTAMP columns are converted from the current time zone to UTC for storage, and from UTC to the current time zone for retrieval.
However, it does not work for DATE, TIME or DATETIME:
The current time zone setting does not affect values displayed by functions such as UTC_TIMESTAMP() or values in DATE, TIME, or DATETIME columns. Nor are values in those data types stored in UTC; the time zone applies for them only when converting from TIMESTAMP values. If you want locale-specific arithmetic for DATE, TIME, or DATETIME values, convert them to UTC, perform the arithmetic, and then convert back.
I have a report with two parameters - StartDate and EndDate - which run a stored procedure that returns data between these two dates.
The dates in the database are stored in UTC. Currently in the UK we are on BST (UTC+1).
To show the times in the correct time zone, in the report I am using System.TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.ToLocalTime.
The end result is that the times as displayed on the report look correct, but the user still has to enter the StartDate and EndDate parameters in UTC. This confuses the user greatly as they expect to be able to enter a date in the current time zone, but the times in the database are UTC.
How can I allow the date parameters to be entered in the correct time zone?
Unfortunately, we can't modify the schema of the database so I need to find a way to fix this on the reporting side
In SSRS, if the date stored in database is UTC, it has to be UTC when select from a query in parameter setting. It is not supported to change the field which is from a query in parameter. For your requirement, you can either format the date into local time in query. Or you can select UTC date in parameter, and render it as local time
I am pulling data in from an Oracle source (SSIS). After a week of successful run, a timestamp of '6/19/0002 12:00:00 AM' shows up. How do I convert this to SQL server datetime? I am fine with just setting this as null, but how do I detect invalid dates in ssis?
SQL Server 2008/SSIS 2012
I do not have control of Oralce source.
Thanks
I think you are probably looking for datetime2(6) in SQL Server 2008.
Defines a date that is combined with a time of day that is based on
24-hour clock. datetime2 can be considered as an extension of the
existing datetime type that has a larger date range, a larger default
fractional precision, and optional user-specified precision.
I've written a report that extracts the data from SQL Azure storage. Looks like DateTime are stored on server datetime (based on South east asia).
When I render the report the date time is very confusing to the users as it's not a local datetime. Could anyone please suggest how to convert the serverdatetime to local datetime in SSRS, please?
Thanks
I think that is not the local datetime but UTC. You can handle all the timestamp and server time by explicitly by converting it to localtime stamp from UTC.
