Time Zone support (FB 4.0)

Time zone support consists of TIME WITH TIME ZONE and TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE data types, expressions and statements to work with time zones and conversion between data types without/with time zones.

The first important thing to understand is that TIME WITHOUT TIME ZONE, TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE and DATE data types are defined to use the session time zone when converting from or to a TIME WITH TIME ZONE or TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE. TIME and TIMESTAMP are synonymous to theirs respectively WITHOUT TIME ZONE data types.

The session time zone, as the name implies, can be a different one for each database attachment. It can be set with the isc_dpb_session_time_zone DPB, and if not, it starts by default defined to be the same time zone used by the Firebird database OS process.

It can then be changed with SET TIME ZONE statement to a given time zone or reset to its original value with SET TIME ZONE LOCAL.

A time zone may be a string with a time zone region (for example, America/Sao_Paulo) or a hours:minutes displacement (for example, -03:00) from GMT.

A time/timestamp with time zone is considered equal to another time/timestamp with time zone if their conversion to UTC are equal, for example, time '10:00 -02' = time '09:00 -03', since both are the same as time '12:00 GMT'. This is also valid in the context of UNIQUE constraints and for sorting purposes.

Data types

TIME [ { WITH | WITHOUT } TIME ZONE ]

TIMESTAMP [ { WITH | WITHOUT } TIME ZONE ]

Storage

TIME/TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE has respectively the same storage of TIME/TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE plus 2 bytes for the time zone identifier or displacement.

The time/timestamp parts are stored in UTC (translated from the informed time zone).

Time zone identifiers (from regions) are put directly in the time_zone field. They start from 65535 (which is the GMT code) and are decreasing as new time zones were/are added.

Time zone displacements (+/- HH:MM) are encoded with (sign * (HH * 60 + MM)) + 1439. For example, a 00:00 displacement is encoded as (1 * (0 * 60 + 0)) + 1439 = 1439 and -02:00 as (-1 * (2 * 60 + 0)) + 1439 = 1319.

API structs

struct ISC_TIME_TZ
{
    ISC_TIME utc_time;
    ISC_USHORT time_zone;
};

struct ISC_TIMESTAMP_TZ
{
    ISC_TIMESTAMP utc_timestamp;
    ISC_USHORT time_zone;
};

API functions (FirebirdInterface.idl - IUtil interface)

void decodeTimeTz(
    Status status,
    const ISC_TIME_TZ* timeTz,
    uint* hours,
    uint* minutes,
    uint* seconds,
    uint* fractions,
    uint timeZoneBufferLength,
    string timeZoneBuffer
);

void decodeTimeStampTz(
    Status status,
    const ISC_TIMESTAMP_TZ* timeStampTz,
    uint* year,
    uint* month,
    uint* day,
    uint* hours,
    uint* minutes,
    uint* seconds,
    uint* fractions,
    uint timeZoneBufferLength,
    string timeZoneBuffer
);

void encodeTimeTz(
    Status status,
    ISC_TIME_TZ* timeTz,
    uint hours,
    uint minutes,
    uint seconds,
    uint fractions,
    const string timeZone
);

void encodeTimeStampTz(
    Status status,
    ISC_TIMESTAMP_TZ* timeStampTz,
    uint year,
    uint month,
    uint day,
    uint hours,
    uint minutes,
    uint seconds,
    uint fractions,
    const string timeZone
);

Time zone string syntax

<time zone string> ::=
    '<time zone>'

<time zone> ::=
    <time zone region> |
    [+/-] <hour displacement> [: <minute displacement>]

Examples:

'America/Sao_Paulo'
'-02:00'
'+04'
'04:00'
'04:30'

`TIME WITH TIME ZONE` and `TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE` literals

<time with time zone literal> ::=
    time '<time> <time zone>'

<timestamp with time zone literal> ::=
    timestamp '<timestamp> <time zone>'

Examples:

time '10:00 America/Los_Angeles'
time '10:00:00.5 +08'
timestamp '2018-01-01 10:00 America/Los_Angeles'
timestamp '2018-01-01 10:00:00.5 +08'

Statements and expressions

`SET TIME ZONE` statement

Changes the session time zone.

Syntax

SET TIME ZONE { <time zone string> | LOCAL }

Examples

set time zone '-02:00';

set time zone 'America/Sao_Paulo';

set time zone local;

`AT` expression

Translates a time/timestamp value to its correspondent value in another time zone.

If LOCAL is used, the value is converted to the session time zone.

Syntax

<at expr> ::=
    <expr> AT { TIME ZONE <time zone string> | LOCAL }

Examples

select time '12:00 GMT' at time zone '-03'
  from rdb$database;

select current_timestamp at time zone 'America/Sao_Paulo'
  from rdb$database;

select timestamp '2018-01-01 12:00 GMT' at local
  from rdb$database;

`EXTRACT` expressions

Two new EXTRACT expressions has been added:

TIMEZONE_HOUR: extracts the time zone hours displacement
TIMEZONE_MINUTE: extracts the time zone minutes displacement

Examples

select extract(timezone_hour from current_time)
  from rdb$database;

select extract(timezone_minute from current_timestamp)
  from rdb$database;

`LOCALTIME` expression

Returns the current time as a TIME WITHOUT TIME ZONE, i.e., in the session time zone.

Example

select localtime
  from rdb$database;

`LOCALTIMESTAMP` expression

Returns the current timestamp as a TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE, i.e., in the session time zone.

Example

select localtimestamp
  from rdb$database;

TODO: CURRENT_TIME and CURRENT_TIMESTAMP changes

Virtual table `RDB$TIME_ZONES`

This virtual table lists time zones supported in the engine.

Columns:

RDB$TIME_ZONE_ID type INTEGER
RDB$TIME_ZONE_NAME type CHAR(63)

Package `RDB$TIME_ZONE_UTIL`

This package has time zone utility functions and procedures.

Function `DATABASE_VERSION`

RDB$TIME_ZONE_UTIL.DATABASE_VERSION returns the time zone database version.

Return type: VARCHAR(10) CHARACTER SET ASCII

select rdb$time_zone_util.database_version()
  from rdb$database;

Returns:

DATABASE_VERSION
================
2017c

Procedure `TRANSITIONS`

RDB$TIME_ZONE_UTIL.TRANSITIONS returns the set of rules between the start and end timestamps.

Input parameters:

TIME_ZONE_NAME type CHAR(63)
FROM_TIMESTAMP type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE
TO_TIMESTAMP type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE

Output parameters:

START_TIMESTAMP type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE - the transition' start timestamp
END_TIMESTAMP type TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE - the transition's end timestamp
ZONE_OFFSET type SMALLINT - number of minutes related to the zone's offset
DST_OFFSET type SMALLINT - number of minutes related to the zone's DST offset
EFFECTIVE_OFFSET type SMALLINT - effective offset (ZONE_OFFSET + DST_OFFSET)

select *
  from rdb$time_zone_util.transitions(
    'America/Sao_Paulo',
    timestamp '2017-01-01',
    timestamp '2019-01-01');

Returns:
