Nice Question!

Thanks Steve! We currently code for locations in one time zone, so we don't use these types of things much. However, we recently became part of a global enterprise and will have to start doing so. Time zone considerations and collation considerations will finally become important to us, and not just as QOTD's.

Thanks for an easy one.

I personally love this data type... it makes dealing with multi-time zone data a little bit easier.... datetime data still gives me more headaches than any other.

"Ok Ms. Smith we'll schedule a callback at 3pm your time in California on Friday"

Ok so she's in a portion of California that doens't follow DST, we're in Chicago and we do.

Is Friday in or out of DST? Do we know her correct TZ? What about when our east coast support team decides to handle this one?

*sigh*

Headaches I tell you... 🙂
