BigQuery automatically converts timestamp timezone to UTC
Here's my source data:
Once i load the data into my bigquery table, it automatically converts the timestamp to UTC:
How do I get the second column to be in eastern time?
Solution:
You can "transform" first column into eastern time on-fly - something like in below example
\n\n#standardSQL\nWITH t AS (\n SELECT TIMESTAMP '2018-05-07 22:40:00+00:00' AS ts\n)\nSELECT ts, STRING(ts, '-04:00') timestamp_eastern\nFROM t
\n\nYou can create view which will consists of all the logic you need in place so client will query that view instead of original table
\n\n#standardSQL\nCREATE VIEW `project.dataset.your_view` AS \nSELECT ts, STRING(ts, '-04:00') timestamp_eastern \nFROM `project.dataset.your_table`
