SQL - Convert DateTime to Local Time from UTC
It is a good idea to store times in a database as UTC so that changing time zones do not cause problems.
But you will want to display this in your application as local time.

To convert a SQL datetime from UTC to local time:

DATEADD(MILLISECOND,DATEDIFF(MILLISECOND,getutcdate(),GETDATE()), MYDATETIME)

And back from local time to UTC time:

DATEADD(second, DATEDIFF(second, GETDATE(), GETUTCDATE()), MYDATETIME)
