If I'm passing in a date to a query, can I convert it to GMT in SQL?

Something like:

INSERT INTO tblTest (Date)
VALUES (GMT(@mydate))

Only if you know the timezone for which the date and time is entered.
Then use DATEADD(HOUR, +/-x, OriginalDateTime) to calculate the GMT.

Or, if you are using SQL Server 2008 or later, use DATETIMEOFFSET datatype.
