Solution 1

SQL

INSERT INTO table_name(date_field_name)
VALUES (CONVERT(time, GETDATE()))

If you want the date and time, simply use GETDATE() alone:

SQL

INSERT INTO table_name(date_field_name)
VALUES (GETDATE())

Solution 2

Hi,

It depends... If your field type in database is a DATETIME, you can retrieve the current datetime using SQL SERVER's function GETDATE().

SQL

INSERT INTO MyTable (MyField) 
VALUES (GETDATE())

If your field type in database is a DATE, you could do it like this:

SQL

INSERT INTO MyTable (MyField) 
VALUES (CAST(GETDATE() AS TIME))
