This time zone converter lets you visually and very quickly convert EST to UTC and vice-versa. Simply mouse over the colored hour-tiles and glance at the hours selected by the column. EST stands for Eastern Standard Time. UTC is known as Universal Time.

- Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) +0000 UTC UTC/GMT is 01:13 on Monday, May 3, 2021.
Returns the current database system timestamp as a datetime value. The database time zone offset is not included. This value represents the current UTC time (Coordinated Universal Time). This value is derived from the operating system of the computer on which the instance of SQL Server is running.
Note
SYSDATETIME and SYSUTCDATETIME have more fractional seconds precision than GETDATE and GETUTCDATE. SYSDATETIMEOFFSET includes the system time zone offset. SYSDATETIME, SYSUTCDATETIME, and SYSDATETIMEOFFSET can be assigned to a variable of any of the date and time types. Amazon photos faq.

Return Types
datetime
Remarks
Transact-SQL statements can refer to GETUTCDATE anywhere they can refer to a datetime expression.
GETUTCDATE is a nondeterministic function. Views and expressions that reference this function in a column cannot be indexed.
Examples
The following examples use the six SQL Server system functions that return current date and time to return the date, time or both. The values are returned in series; therefore, their fractional seconds might be different.
A. Getting the current system date and time
B. Getting the current system date
C. Getting the current system time

AT TIME ZONE (Transact-SQL)
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is the international time standard.It is the current term for what was commonly referred to as GreenwichMeridian Time (GMT). Zero (0) hours UTC is midnight in Greenwich England, which lies on the zero longitudinal meridian. Universal time is based on a 24 hour clock, therefore, afternoon hours such as 4 pm UTC are expressed as16:00 UTC (sixteen hours, zero minutes).
Since a day is 24 hours long, the world may be split into 15 degree wide longitudinal bands (360 degrees/24 hours). Each band represents one hour. Acronis true image 2020 pet. As an example, Huntsville Alabama is located at approximately 90 degrees west longitude, hence, local time lags UTC time by 6 hours (90/15, assuming Central Standard Time, 5 hours in Central Daylight Time). So, if the universal time is 14:30 UTC, United States Central Standard Time would be 8:30 am CST.

Coordinated Universal Time (utc)
Illustrated below is a map which indicates the 15 degree wide longitude bands. Referring to the Huntsville example, count the lines west of the 0 meridian until you get near Alabama. There are 6 lines, hence 6 hours difference. Counting the bands may not give you an exact time for your location, as countries impose their own time regions due to geographic borders, but it should be close. Subtract time in west longitudes (negative values), add time in east longitudes (positive values).
