Ho eseguito alcuni test unitari per rispondere alla mia domanda in tutte e quattro le parti.
###1:SQL Server archivia DateTime.UtcNow di conseguenza o lo sposta nuovamente in base al fuso orario in cui è installato il server e quindi lo restituisce con offset invertito quando richiesto? Eseguito):
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Il risultato di ciò alle 13:30 ora locale (-7h o 20:30 UTC) è stato:
Jun 3 2010 8:30PM
Poi ho provato questo:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("change time zone to utc");
Console.ReadLine();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Console.WriteLine("change time zone back to local");
Eseguito alle 21:25 UTC, è tornato

Confronta questo con DateTime.Now:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.Now));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("change time zone to utc");
Console.ReadLine();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Console.WriteLine("change time zone back to local");
Eseguito alle 15:55 (locale; -7h), restituito:
Jun 3 2010 3:55PM
###2:Quindi lo interrogo e lo trasmetto dall'oggetto a un DateTime dopo averlo ottenuto, ad esempio, da una colonna IDataReader. Questo oggetto System.DateTime casted sa già che si tratta di un'istanza DateTime UTC o presume che sia stato spostato?
Nessuno dei due.
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT val value FROM testtbl";
var retval = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Kind: " + retval.Kind);
Console.WriteLine("UTC: " + retval.ToUniversalTime().ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Local: " + retval.ToLocalTime().ToString());
Il risultato di ciò (eseguito alle 13:58 ora locale) è stato:
Kind: Unspecified
UTC: 6/4/2010 3:58:42 AM
Local: 6/3/2010 1:58:42 PM
Cioè, .ToUniversalTime() finito per compensare dall'ora locale all'ora UTC non una ma due volte (??) e .ToLocalTime() ha finito per non compensare affatto.
###3:ADO.NET passa l'offset a SQL Server e SQL Server archivia DateTime.Now con i metadati dell'offset?
Senza eseguire alcun test unitario, la risposta è già nota per essere di tipo SQL "solo con DateTimeOffset". datetime di SQL non esegue offset.
###4:Questo oggetto System.DateTime casted sa già che si tratta di un'ora di offset o presume che sia UTC?
Né. Il tipo DateTimeOffset di SQL viene restituito come una struttura .NET DateTimeOffset.
Quanto segue viene eseguito alle 15:31 ora locale in cui la colonna offval è un tipo SQL datetimeoffset,
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (offval) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.Now));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT offval value FROM testtbl";
object retvalobj = cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Type: " + retvalobj.GetType().Name);
var retval = (DateTimeOffset)retvalobj;
Console.WriteLine("ToString(): " + retval.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("UTC: " + retval.ToUniversalTime().ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Local: " + retval.ToLocalTime().ToString());
Ciò ha comportato:
Type: DateTimeOffset
ToString(): 6/3/2010 3:31:47 PM +00:00
UTC: 6/3/2010 3:31:47 PM +00:00
Local: 6/3/2010 8:31:47 AM -07:00
Una disparità sorprendente.
Tornando indietro ed eseguendo il test per la domanda n. 1 sopra utilizzando DateTime.Now invece di DateTime.UtcNow, ho verificato che ADO.NET NON converte in ora universale prima di archiviarlo nel database.
Cioè, questo viene eseguito alle 15:27 ora locale (-7h):
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.Now));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
Console.WriteLine("change time zone to utc");
Console.ReadLine();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT CAST(val as varchar) value FROM testtbl";
Console.WriteLine(cmd.ExecuteScalar());
Console.WriteLine("change time zone back to local");
.. restituito ..

In esecuzione alle 15:17 ora locale:
cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO testtbl (val) VALUES (@newval)";
cmd.Parameters.Add(new SqlParameter("@newval", DateTime.UtcNow));
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
cmd.CommandText = "SELECT val FROM testtbl";
var result = (DateTime)cmd.ExecuteScalar();
Console.WriteLine("Kind: " + result.Kind);
Console.WriteLine("ToString(): " + result.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is greater than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) > DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is greater than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) > DateTime.Now).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is less than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) < DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Add 1 minute, is less than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(1) < DateTime.Now).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is greater than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) > DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is greater than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) > DateTime.Now).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is less than UtcNow? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) < DateTime.UtcNow).ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subtract 1 minute, is less than Now? "
+ (result.AddMinutes(-1) < DateTime.Now).ToString());
Risultato:
