My SQL date and time data changes to a different hour when Query into Glide

If you're experiencing an issue where the Date and Time data from your SQL database appears to change hours when queried into Glide, this is likely due to Glide automatically accounting for timezones.

When you import date and time data into Glide from an SQL database, Glide internally processes this information to align with the timezone settings of your device or account. This automatic processing can sometimes lead to discrepancies between the time displayed in your SQL database and what appears in Glide.

To ensure that the date and time data from your SQL database reflects accurately and remains consistent when imported into Glide, use the SQL function: CAST. Specifically, you can implement CAST(datecolumnname AS TIMESTAMP) in your SQL query. This command explicitly keeps your date and time data in its original form, bypassing any timezone adjustments that Glide might apply.

By casting your date and time as a timestamp in SQL, you ensure that the data is transferred as-is, allowing you to maintain the integrity of your original SQL data when it is displayed in Glide. This solution provides a straightforward approach to managing date and time discrepancies caused by timezone adjustments within the Glide platform.
