Question

I have a website that does inserts into this table below. I need to do some manual inserts but I wasn’t sure how do pass in the equivalent of DateTime.Now in C#.

I am running this below from the query editor in SQL server mgmt studio. Is there any way to pass in the current date time in this query below.

INSERT INTO [Business]
           ([IsDeleted]
           ,[FirstName]
           ,[LastName]
           ,[LastUpdated]
           ,[LastUpdatedBy])
     VALUES
           (0, 'Joe', 'Thomas', 
           ,<LastUpdated, datetime,>
           ,<LastUpdatedBy, nvarchar(50),>)

Answer 1

Use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP (or GETDATE() on archaic versions of SQL Server).
