Is it possible to deceive SQL Server to return a different date on GetDate()

  • 0

Is it possible to deceive SQL Server to return a different date on GetDate() without actually changing the machine date?
This would be great, since we have a database with old data and I’m trying to test some queries that use getdate().
I can change my machine date but that brings some other problems with other applications…
Any tips?
Thanks!

    According to the documentation for getdate():

    This value is derived from the
    operating system of the computer on
    which the instance of SQL Server is
    running.

    Since it’s derived from the OS, I don’t think you can change it separately.
