Thanks. - When I'm using that format string, I get:

Convertible: error converting source data SqlLocalTime 2008-10-29 00:00:00
of type SqlValue to type Data.Time.LocalTime.LocalTime.ZonedTime:
incompatible types

I guess I need to find out who wants ZonedTime.

In my DB description (generated by dbdirect),
the only time-related type is CalendarTime.

Did you append an empty string in the SELECT statement? If you append the empty string (||''), HDBC treats the field as text and so returns a SqlByteString. However, if you do not append the empty string, it treats the field as a timestamp and tries to convert it before it even reaches your code.

All of this is just speculation, of course, since I haven't actually looked at the code. But my "extensive" (ie, 5 minute) testing implies it to be true.
