Introduction #
Date Formats and Date Literals #
DateTime field values are stored as Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When a DateTime value is returned in Salesforce, it’s adjusted for the time zone specified in your org preferences. SOQL queries, however, return DateTime field values as UTC values. If you want to process these values in different time zones, your application might need to handle the conversion.
Date Formats #
A fieldExpression uses different date formats for date and DateTime fields. If you specify a DateTime format in a query, you can filter only on DateTime fields. Similarly, if you specify a date format value, you can filter only on date fields.:
Format ## |
Format Syntax # |
Example # |
|---|---|---|
| Date only | YYYY-MM-DD | 2010-01-01 |
| Date, time, and time zone offset |
