Date/Time Stamp

[Robert]

When a record is written to a table (via a asp form), I'd like the time
and date from the server to automatically populate a column in that
table. From what I can tell, timestamp isn't working. I rather not
have the time come from the client.

Thanks for the help.

Add a column with a default of CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. This is nothing to do
with TIMESTAMP, which is the SQL Server keyword for a row-versioning
column, not for date and time.

ALTER TABLE your_table ADD date_created DATETIME NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT df_your_table_date_created DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP

alternatively, you can also use as

ALTER TABLE your_table ADD date_created DATETIME NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT df_your_table_date_created DEFAULT getdate()
