我发现这个函数比使用单独的表或循环的其他解决方案更快。这只是一个基本的case语句。考虑到4月到10月之间的所有月份都有-4小时的偏移(东部时间)，我们只需要为边缘日添加更多的案例线。否则，偏移量为-5小时。

这是特定于从UTC到东部时间的转换，但可以根据需要添加其他时区功能。

USE [YourDatabaseName]

/****** Object:  UserDefinedFunction [dbo].[ConvertUTCtoEastern]    Script Date: 11/2/2016 5:21:52 PM ******/

BEGIN
DECLARE @Working DATETIME
DECLARE @Returned DATETIME

SET @Working = @dtStartDate
SET @Working = 
case when month(@Working) between 4 and 10 then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
     when @Working between '2017-03-12' and '2017-11-05' then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
     when @Working between '2016-03-13' and '2016-11-06' then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
     when @Working between '2015-03-08' and '2015-11-01' then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
     when @Working between '2014-03-09' and '2014-11-02' then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
     when @Working between '2013-03-10' and '2013-11-03' then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
     when @Working between '2012-03-11' and '2012-11-04' then dateadd(HH,-4,@Working) 
else dateadd(HH,-5,@Working) end

SET @Returned = @Working

RETURN @Returned

END


GO

这些对我来说都没用，但下面这个100%有效。希望这能帮助其他像我一样尝试转换它的人。

CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[fn_UTC_to_EST]
(
    @UTC datetime,
    @StandardOffset int
)
RETURNS datetime
AS
BEGIN

declare 
    @DST datetime,
    @SSM datetime, -- Second Sunday in March
    @FSN datetime  -- First Sunday in November
-- get DST Range
set @SSM = DATEADD(dd,7 + (6-(DATEDIFF(dd,0,DATEADD(mm,(YEAR(GETDATE())-1900) * 12 + 2,0))%7)),DATEADD(mm,(YEAR(GETDATE())-1900) * 12 + 2,0))+'02:00:00' 
set @FSN = DATEADD(dd, (6-(DATEDIFF(dd,0,DATEADD(mm,(YEAR(GETDATE())-1900) * 12 + 10,0))%7)),DATEADD(mm,(YEAR(GETDATE())-1900) * 12 + 10,0)) +'02:00:00'

-- add an hour to @StandardOffset if @UTC is in DST range
if @UTC between @SSM and @FSN
    set @StandardOffset = @StandardOffset + 1

-- convert to DST
set @DST = dateadd(hour,@StandardOffset,@UTC)

-- return converted datetime
return @DST

END

如果你的本地日期时间是东部标准时间，你想从UTC转换为UTC，那么在Azure SQL和SQL Server 2016及以上版本中，你可以这样做:

SELECT YourUtcColumn AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time' AS
       LocalTime
FROM   YourTable

时区名称的完整列表可以在以下地址找到:

SELECT * FROM sys.time_zone_info 

是的，时区的命名很糟糕——即使是东部标准时间，也考虑到了夏令时。

对于任何仍然试图解决这个问题的人，这里有一个在SQL Server 2017中工作的概念证明

 declare
    @StartDate date = '2020-01-01'

;with cte_utc as
(
    select 
         1 as i
        ,CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate) AS UTC
        ,datepart(weekday, CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate)) as Weekday
        ,datepart(month, CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate)) as [Month]
        ,datepart(YEAR, CONVERT(datetime, @StartDate)) as [Year]
        
    union all

    Select
         i + 1
        ,dateadd(d, 1, utc)
        ,datepart(weekday, CONVERT(datetime, dateadd(d, 1, utc))) as Weekday
        ,datepart(month, CONVERT(datetime, dateadd(d, 1, utc))) as [Month]
        ,datepart(YEAR, CONVERT(datetime, dateadd(d, 1, utc))) as [Year]
    from    
        cte_utc
    where
        (i + 1) < 32767

), cte_utc_dates as 
(
    select 
        *,
        DENSE_RANK()OVER(PARTITION BY [Year], [Month], [Weekday] ORDER BY Utc) WeekDayIndex
    from
        cte_utc

), cte_hours as (
    select 0 as [Hour]
    union all
    select [Hour] + 1 from cte_hours where [Hour] < 23
)

select
    d.*
    , DATEADD(hour, h.Hour, d.UTC) AS UtcTime
    ,CONVERT(datetime, DATEADD(hour, h.Hour, d.UTC) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Central Standard Time') CST
    ,CONVERT(datetime, DATEADD(hour, h.Hour, d.UTC) AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time') EST
from
    cte_utc_dates d, cte_hours h
where
    ([Month] = 3 and [Weekday] = 1 and WeekDayIndex = 2 )-- dst start
    or 
    ([Month] = 11 and [Weekday] = 1 and WeekDayIndex = 1 )-- dst end
order by
    utc
OPTION (MAXRECURSION 32767)

GO

该函数将UTC时间转换为EST时间，并进行DST调整。你可以在这个函数中更改你设计的时区名称，或者从注册表中获取:

Create Function fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime(
    @UTCTime as datetime
)
returns datetime
as
begin
    return convert(datetime, convert(varchar(23), @UTCTime AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard Time', 121), 121)
end
go

select dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-3-8 5:00:00.000')
    , dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-3-8 6:00:00.000')
    , dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-3-8 7:00:00.000')
    , dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-3-8 8:00:00.000')

--returns 0:00am, 1:00am, 3:00am, 4:00am

select dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-11-1 4:00:00.000')
    , dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-11-1 5:00:00.000')
    , dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-11-1 6:00:00.000')
    , dbo.fnConvertUTCTimetoESTTime ('2020-11-1 7:00:00.000')

--returns 0:00am, 1:00am, 1:00am, 2:00am

请注意，您不能只是返回“@UTCTime AT TIME ZONE 'UTC' AT TIME ZONE 'Eastern Standard TIME '”作为结果，因为该结果实际上是EST格式的UTC时间(当您比较这个“假”EST时间或将其包含在order子句中时，它将被转换回UTC时间)。

我发现当有大量数据时，一次性函数的方法太慢了。因此，我通过连接到一个允许计算小时差的表函数来实现它，它基本上是带有小时偏移量的datetime分段。一年是4行。这个表格函数

dbo.fn_getTimeZoneOffsets('3/1/2007 7:00am', '11/5/2007 9:00am', 'EPT')

将返回这个表:

startTime          endTime   offset  isHr2
3/1/07 7:00     3/11/07 6:59    -5    0
3/11/07 7:00    11/4/07 6:59    -4    0
11/4/07 7:00    11/4/07 7:59    -5    1
11/4/07 8:00    11/5/07 9:00    -5    0

它确实考虑了夏时制。下面是它如何使用的示例，完整的博客文章在这里。

select mt.startTime as startUTC, 
    dateadd(hh, tzStart.offset, mt.startTime) as startLocal, 
    tzStart.isHr2
from MyTable mt 
inner join dbo.fn_getTimeZoneOffsets(@startViewUTC, @endViewUTC, @timeZone)  tzStart
on mt.startTime between tzStart.startTime and tzStart.endTime
