From BOL (2005).

"Returns the current date and time. This function is equivalent to GETDATE."

Subject: CURRENT_TIMESTAMP vs GETDATE


Can anyone provide some insight into why these two commands would return
different values. We did some testing of the patches on the new day
light savings time schedule this weekend. During the testing it was
brought to light that these two commands were returning different
values. Formatting aside, they were different. Should these not return
that same data and time?

Thanks in advance for any explanation.

Cheers-
Jay
