How can I use the SQL query in a database?

In order to retrieve all events scheduled to occur after a specific date you can use the”>” operator along with the “WHERE” clause in SQL.

Here is the example given:-

Let’s imagine a scenario in which you have a table named “events” in which the column is “scheduled_date” which stores the timestamps in UTC format. Now, our task is to retrieve all events scheduled after a specific date even considering the difference in time zones:-

Assuming the events table has a column scheduled_date storing timestamps in UTC

Setting the time zone to UTC for accurate comparisons

SET TIMEZONE = ‘UTC’;

Assuming the input date is ‘2023-12-01’ and in UTC

Converting the input date to a timestamp in UTC

WITH input_date AS (

    SELECT TIMESTAMP ‘2023-12-01’ AT TIME ZONE ‘UTC’ AS input_utc_date

)

Query to retrieve events after the given date

SELECT *

FROM events

CROSS JOIN input_date

WHERE scheduled_date > input_date.input_utc_date

You can use or set the session time zone to UTC. Additionally, you can convert the input date to a UTC timestamp by using the “AT TIME ZONE” function. Certainly, use a common table [removed]CTE) in order to hold the input data that are converted.

This approach ensures that your requirement of retrieval of scheduled programs should be SQL data greater than the scheduled timing.
