Alternative way to DetDate() function?..

Answer / suraj

Selvaraj, You are wrong. I tested it.
Please, look at the output of these below queries.
'GetUTCDate' results in time difference which means it will
not give you the exact result as 'GETDATE()'.

SELECT GETUTCDATE()

-----------------------
2009-11-30 22:15:15.243

SELECT GETDATE()

-----------------------
2009-11-30 16:15:15.243

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

-----------------------
2009-11-30 16:15:15.243

Answer / selvaraj.v

First you Clearly Learn.It's GetDATE() function, Not DetDate
() function.

In SQL Server 2000 Query :
--------------------------

Select GetDate()

Output:
------
2008-01-22 17:37:20.280

Alternate to GetDate() function:
--------------------------------

Select GetUTCDate()

Output:
-------
2008-01-22 17:37:20.280

GetUTCDATE() means Greenwhich Mean Time of Current Date
Time.
