convert UTC date

hi- i'm working with a database that stores dates in UTC format. does
anyone know of, or have, a function to convert from this format?
tia,
jtWell, what is your offset from UTC?
DECLARE @.offset TINYINT;
SET @.offset = ?;
SELECT DATEADD(HOUR, @.offset, datetimeColumn) FROM table;
If you participate in daylight savings time, you will be much better off
using a calendar table.

And yes, I need to update the article to account for the change in DST
timeframes here in the US, that take effect this year IIRC.

this database stores the number of seconds that have passed since 1/1/1970,
as an integer field. so how do i convert that to the current date?

As an aside, you may want to use BIGINT, if you ever want to store dates
beyond 2038-01-18.
