SQL SERVER – 2008 – Find Current System Date Time and Time Offset

If you want to find current datetime in SQL Server I suggest to read the following post :

SQL SERVER – Retrieve Current Date Time in SQL Server CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, GETDATE(), {fn NOW()}

This post is related to new feature available in SQL Server 2008. In SQL Server 2008 there is a function which provides current offset of the system from GMT time as well. Basically it shows the system datetime with offset. I think this can be useful in some of the instances where SQL Server are depending on the time offset.

SELECT SYSDATETIMEOFFSET() AS 'Windows System Time'
GO

SQL Server System Time Check.
