Re: Sharepoint Services (V2 and now V3) recording of the date/time recorded into Database



Another recent posting has suggested that there is a difference between the
times used by SharePoint itself and the times used in the database.

Hence the SharePoint web site shows the correct time but web parts (or in
your case Reporting Services reports) that obtain their data direct from
database records show incorrect timings.

Why is so far a mystery.

Hi,

I have several Sharepoint Sites that are running fine, show the correct
date on the page, etc.

Recently, Iinstall SQL 2005 Reporting Services to create some reports
off the sharepoint databases for the Sites.

That's when I discovered that Sharepoint seem to be recording
information at GMT 0. I have setup the sites using the Central
Administration Web to GMT +10 (Sydney). I have also noticed that, as we
are in Summer Time, it is actually recording the date and time 11 hours
prior to the date, rather than the actual date and time.

Can I ask if anyone actually knows WHY does Sharepoint do this? Why
doesn't it record the correct Regional Date Time when the data was
written?

You can imagine that when you create a report that now I have to go
through a whole lot of date calculations just to get the right
date/time for the report (unless someone knows an easier way).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert
