How can I select a DateTime as UTC - not as kind "Unspecified"?
elandev opened this issue · comments
Describe the question
I am inserting a row into the database where the DateTime property value is in UTC.
When I query the data back from the database it is not returned as UTC, but as the kind "Unspecified".
This causes other issues when doing datetime and interval comparisons. Thus, I have to manually convert the datetimes from the database to UTC, before doing any such comparisons.
Is there a way, possibly through a property attribute, to indicate that the DateTime should be of the kind UTC?
Steps to reproduce
- Load the attached project with Visual Studio 2022.
- Set up MariaDB as the database (10.11.2-MariaDB).
- Edit the server, database name and credentials for the connection string.
- Restore Nuget packages and build the solution.
- Run the project.
Look at the console output and you will see:
DateTime Inserted: 2023-03-25 17:38:26Z Kind=Utc
DateTime Returned: 2023-03-25 17:38:26Z Kind=Unspecified
DateTime Returned: 2023-03-25 17:38:26Z Kind=Unspecified
- Dotnet version: 6.0
- Database: 10.11.2-MariaDB
- Library version: Insight 6.3.11
