How to calculate the local datetime from a utc datetime in tsql (sql 2005)?

Question

i want to loop over a period of time in tsql, and print the utc datetimes and our local variant. We live in UTC +1, so i could easily add 1 hour, but in the summertime we live i

This solution seems too obvious.

If you can get UTC Date with GETUTCDATE() and you can get your local date with GETDATE() you have an offset that you can apply for any datetime

SELECT DATEADD(hh, DATEPART(hh, GETDATE() - GETUTCDATE()) - 24, GETUTCDATE()) 

this should return the local time you executed the query,

SELECT DATEADD(hh, DATEPART(hh, GETDATE() - GETUTCDATE()) - 24, N'1/14/2011 7:00:00'  ) 

this will return 2011-01-14 02:00:00.000 because i'm in UTC +5

Unless I'm missing something?
