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
