I have created manage instance in azure using UTC timezone at time of creation. Now I want to change timezone to GMT. So is this any way to make timezone change of Manage instance SQL server?
This can't be changed once managed instance is created. You need to redeploy managed instance with correct timestamp and use cross instance PITR to move databases.
The date/time is derived from the operating system of the computer on which the instance of SQL Server is running.
I searched a lot and according my experience , we can not change the timezone once the SQL server instance is created.
The only thing we can to is convert the UTC timezone to GMT. Many people has post similar problem on Stack overflow. Such as:
Date time conversion from timezone to timezone in sql server
SQL Server Timezone Change
Azure gives the built-in function AT TIME ZONE (Transact-SQL) applies to SQL Server 2016 or later. AT TIME ZONE implementation relies on a Windows mechanism to convert datetime values across time zones.
inputdate AT TIME ZONE timezone
For example, Convert values between different time zones:
USE AdventureWorks2016;
GO
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate,
OrderDate AT TIME ZONE 'Pacific Standard Time' AS OrderDate_TimeZonePST,
OrderDate AT TIME ZONE 'Central European Standard Time' AS OrderDate_TimeZoneCET
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader;
I don't have the Azure SQL MI, so I could test it for you.
Hope this helps.

Application server is showing date as UTC, database server also showing as UTC. When we are inserting systimestamp in a timestamp column from database server then it is showing as UTC format but if we insert from application server then data is getting loaded in MST timezone.
Need some help to figure out what is the issue.
How do you insert date from application server? Most likely as LOCALTIMESTAMP or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP.
You have several possibilities:
Change timezone of your application server to UTC
Use SYSTIMESTAMP instead of LOCALTIMESTAMP or CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
Insert LOCALTIMESTAMP AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' or SYS_EXTRACT_UTC(LOCALTIMESTAMP)
I have a function that checks every minute if it is 7:30am, and if it is time, it sends me a text message.
But since I upload to heroku and my time zone is different, I have to adjust the time ahead to look like this:
setInterval(function() {
let date = new Date();
if(date.getHours() == 11 && date.getMinutes() == 30){
sendDaily()
}
}, 60000)
But when I upload to heroku, I get alerts on my phone at random times. I have also tried using the schedule package that helps with this, but the same error occurs, the function does not run when supposed to. I have also tried changing the timezone on heroku but it doesnt help because when I enter my city/location it still gives the same default time zone time.
Heroku is built on AWS and create containers on any center it deems fit. Which means your application can be running anywhere in the world as shown on this AWS infrastructure map. With that being said using new Date on a server will have a very different outcome based on which server it is created in, which you have no control over.
How do you solve this problem?
You need to decouple the dependency of new Date on the OS.
Options
You can use an API that returns a standard time of day which would create a single source of truth for all AWS containers no matter where they are. Here is an Example of this.
You can manually set the Time Zone assuming all the AWS OS clocks are in sync. You can do this with moment and moment timezone
Using a dedicated server that is not created randomly throughout the world. Like any tradeoffs, this creates its own issues if you are trying to scale but it is an option.
I have Windows eventlogs being sent from nxlog to logstash. My windows box and my receiving server is in UTC.
NXlog appears to be adding EventTime to the log it ships, and the datetime is 7 hours behind UTC. No explaination, I'm not setting it, and it doesn't match the timezone of either of my VM's or my host VM.
What is this EventTime? Is NXLog creating it? How come it has the wrong timezone or date?
EventTime stores the value of TimeCreated in case of im_msvistalog. When EventTime is converted to a string (e.g. by to_json()) it will be shown in local time.
I have following problem
AppPool reset time is set to 4:45. Hovewer reset is done at 6:45.
I live in GMT+2 time zone.
Has anyone know what timezone / format is used by this setting in IIS ?
Should i use 2:45 value to get it recycled on 4:45 ?
Yes.
It will use the time set on the server.
Any time/setting on the server will always go by what the server clock is set to wither it be IIS AppPool reset, scheduled tasks, or anything else that goes off a time. By default Windows server installs will set there time zone to GMT +0 so if your GMT + 2 then anything you set on the server will run at two hours a head (like your 4:45 running at 6:45). You can either manually account for this when you set things up or, if you have root access to the server, you can just adjust the time zone settings from the clock like you would on your desktop so the server time is set to your time zone.
We recently moved the database to Amazon RDS SQL Server. We have some difficulties with the date times (timezone). By default RDS provides UTC date. Is there any way to overwrite / manipulate the local timezone at database level in SQL Server. Please help me on this.
Thanks in advance,

The time zone is currently not modifiable. There is indeed a Parameter value in rds-describe-db-parameters called "default_time_zone" but it's marked as not modifiable.
