Description
system_versioning_asof, being basically just a string, is not subject to any time zone adjustments, as historical timestamps are. So, if the value is set globally for the server, and some client connections have different time zones, results of simple SELECT executed at the same time will be different for them. I can't imagine how it can be different, since there is no information in which timezone the value was initially set; and it's not even wrong according to the current documentation – queries are executed as if they had FOR SYSTEM_TIME AS OF '<system_versioning_asof value>' clause; but I think this possibility can be easily overlooked when users create complicated setups or automated jobs, so it's probably worth documenting as a warning.
Please confirm and re-assign to greenman for documenting.
