When, if ever, is it the same time in New York, New York as it is in St. Louis, Missouri?

Now. Always. It's the same time everywhere. We just choose to represent the same time in different ways. :)

Nice observation. While that is true, it isn't the answer I'm looking for. When is the "represented" time the same for both cities? Keep trying though. ;)

We have a winner! Each time zone sets their clock back 1 hour at 2:00 am on the last Sunday in October. That means, that for 1 hour, it's the same time in New York as it is in St. Louis. In the spring, there is a 2 hour difference between the time zones for an hour when the clocks move forward again.

On a side note: I've never checked, but it would be interesting to see how our applications handle transaction date/times during this hour. Does SQL server handle them correctly? In .NET, when you serialize a dataset, is the time handled correctly during this hour, such as when you have a transaction in St. Louis posting data through a web-service (and database) in NewYork? Hmmm...

Well, I would hope you actually have GMT in the database and handle the displayed time appropriately.

It's not really a problem with the storage of times in the database, but rather who how it's serialized, then deserialized through the web service that can cause the issue. .NET 2.0 fixed the issue, but in 1.1 you have to work around it. -- modified at 8:31 Thursday 5th October, 2006

That's what we do. And then a new guy inserted datetime values without converting them to UTC, while the same old code was used to retrieve the data, which 'converted' it from UTC. :doh:

when you are referencing GMT? UTC? Zulu Time? or whatever you want to call it. Time is always the same, siderial sidereal time is not. Time zones reference sidereal time, but each moment is still the same. :) Posted 0308 Zulu time.... wake me in 8 hours.... (I never claimed to spell well...)

Hmmm... I didn't think of that one. What I was thinking of was when the clocks roll back one hour here in a few weeks. Unless I'm mistaken, each time zone changes their clock back one hour at 2am local time. that means, that for 1 hour each time zone is in sync with the next time zone west of them. Eastern with Central, then Central with Mountain, and finally Mountain with Pacific.
