I am trying to convert a column that contains UTC values to EST values.
LOAD_DATE_UTC |
---|
2022-03-23 20:59:51.000 |
Expected output:
LOAD_DATE_UTC | LOAD_DATE_EST |
---|---|
2022-03-23 20:59:51.000 | 2022-03-23 16:59:51.000 |
Approach tried:
SELECT LOAD_DATE_UTC,
CAST(LOAD_DATE_UTC AS TIMESTAMP_LTZ(9)) AS LOAD_DATE_EST
FROM TABLE_A
The above approach seem to be returning the same value as is. Please advise how I can convert the column to EST values which is set as Local Time Zone at Snowflake configuration level
I believe the idea is to convert to EST (target)- So following approach will suit: CONVERT_TIMEZONE( <source_tz> , <target_tz> , <source_timestamp_ntz> )
SELECT LOAD_DATE_UTC,
CONVERT_TIMEZONE(LOAD_DATE_UTC,'America/New_York',LOAD_DATE_UTC::timestamp_ntz)
FROM TABLE_A
