getdate

I'm trying to create a report that gets records from a SQL Server database where the delivery date is today. I've tried select * from (tablename) where delivery_date = getdate() Although that didn't give me any errors, it didn't give me any records either. I'm assuming it is because all dates are like: 2016-03-15 00:00:00.000 Perhaps, I need to truncate the date to remove the time-stamp and then try? You can try a query like below select * from (tablename) where CAST(delivery_date as date) = CAST(getdate() as date) Also if all delivery dates have time part like 00:00:00.000 for sure then

I want to print GETDATE() in SQL Server 2008, I need the time with milliseconds (this is for debugging purpose - to find sp's execution time ) I find this Difference SELECT GETDATE() returns 2011-03-15 18:43:44.100 print GETDATE() returns Mar 15 2011 6:44PM I think SQL Server automatically typecast in print functionality. I need to print the date like this 2011-03-15 18:43:44.100 Thanks for your help. First, you should probably use SYSDATETIME() if you're looking for more precision. To format your data with milliseconds, try CONVERT(varchar, SYSDATETIME(), 121) . For other formats, check out

I am using a ADO.NET source to bring data from an ODBC server to the my SQL. I used the import and export wizard to create my data flow task. I need to append new records that have field GPMTADDT>(yesterday date) for example if today 20121002 the following query works perfectly: SELECT PARTICIP.* FROM PARTICIP WHERE GPMTADDT > 20121001 I tried: SELECT PARTICIP.* FROM PARTICIP WHERE GPMTADDT > Format(now(),"yyyymmdd") But it will not work, the server treats "format" as a column. I tried creating a variable @date SELECT PARTICIP.* FROM PARTICIP WHERE GPMTADDT > @date again the server rejected

I am experimenting with a program that inserts data into an SQL 2005 Server database (on XP SP3) at high rate of speed. (This is for collecting timing data so I can evaluate different aspects of my design). My basic set up involves inserting a data into a table like the following (and using an SP that just specifies the payload field): create table data ( Id int PRIMARY KEY Identity, payload datatime not null, inserted datetime default (getdate()) not null ) Note that both datetime fields have UNIQUE constraints on them as well. On the client program I was calling the SP in such a tight loop

suppose isnull(some_column, getdate()) >= getdate() where logic is if some_column is null this expression should always be true. However will this always be so (since between two evaluations of getdate() some time has passed and they won't be equal) ? No, is not safe. You are facing so called runtime constants expressions, of which GETDATE() is the bookcase example, which are evaluate once at query startup and the subsequently the cached evaluated value is used. However each occurence is evaluated separately once and the two evaluation can fall on the separate sides of the datetime precision

I am trying to get Datediff between GETDATE() and SYSDATETIME() in milliseconds. SELECT DATEDIFF(ms, GETDATE() , SYSDATETIME()); The result I am getting is 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 . What is the reason for this difference? See this fiddle . They are two different function calls that can return two different times. Additionally GETDATE returns a datetime datatype which only has precision of 3-4 ms whereas SYSDATETIME() returns a datetime2(7) datatype. Even if both calls were to return exactly the same time you could see the issue that you are experiencing due to rounding. DECLARE @D1 DATETIME2 = '2012

I would love to insert a default value into a column with data type datetime2(7). However, because my website is hosted on a server in a different timezone, the getdate function doesn't work properly. I wonder if there is a solution to this. I have done some research and found two ways. First is to use GetUTCDate() function. However, I would need to do the conversion when I display the information. I am sure my web application is used for only my timezone. So I would like to avoid this. Second way, this is the closest I could get this done by using SwitchOffSet function: CREATE TABLE [dbo].
