Convert GMT to Local Time

Hi,
I have the following query which works fine, but now I want to convert
the date/time to local time (-7 GMT).
Select DateAdd(ss, LastOccurTime, '19700101') as EventDate
>From Event
Order By EventDate DESC
The LastOccurTime field is in seconds in the database so I have to
conver that first.
Thanks!<hammerin.hankster@.gmail.com> wrote in message

Assuming all values represent the same time zone you can easily subtract a
fixed number of hours by adjusting the base date for the calculation:
SELECT DateAdd(ss, LastOccurTime, '1969-12-31T17:00:00.000') as EventDate
This won't account for Daylight Saving Time (if any). To do that you would
need to know what time difference was in effect for each date in your table.
