1084839Basically -- it's better to get the UT directly rather than convert form local time. Part of the snag is functions like DATETIME() and TIME() *don't* tell you if the time they return are in terms of standard local time or daylight local time -- and specifically a problem on the day on which the transition from daylight to standard occurs -- local time repeats (and in the case of the USA where daylight saving occurs, there is a 1-hour "window" where local time repeats -- once for daylight, and once again for standard).
