Author System date/time function
Dale Fye

2006-10-25, 6:00 am

I have recently upsized from Access to SQL Server 2000.

I have several tables where I want to track the time when a record was
created. I'd like to do this in SQL Server by setting the default value of
the field. In Access, I set the default value to Now(), what is the
appropriate SQL function to return the system date/time?
