How can I convert a Sql Server 2008 DateTimeOffset to a DateTime

Question

I\'m hoping to convert a table which has a DATETIMEOFFSET field, down to a DATETIME field BUT recalculates the time by taking notice of the offset.

Answer 1

I'd use the built in SQL option:

select SWITCHOFFSET(cast('2008-12-19 17:30:09.0000000 +11:00' as datetimeoffset),'+00:00')
