SQL Server GETDATE() Function

Definition and Usage

The GETDATE() function returns the current date and time from SQL Server.

Syntax

Example

Here is a SELECT statement:

The result is shown below:

CurrentDateTime
2008-11-11 12:45:34.243

Note: The time part is precise to milliseconds.

Example

The following SQL creates an "Orders" table with a datetime column (OrderDate):

Please note that the OrderDate column specifies GETDATE() as the default value. As a result, when you insert rows into the table, the current date and time are automatically inserted into the column.

Now, we want to insert a record into the "Orders" table:

The "Orders" table will look like this:

OrderId ProductName OrderDate
