It is very often that you need to get current date/time in your development.

T-SQL

To get today date without time as string variable use following script:

Select CONVERT( CHAR(8), GetDate(), 112)

To get datetime variable of today date without time use following script:

Select CAST( CONVERT( CHAR(8), GetDate(), 112) AS DATETIME)

VB

System.DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyyMMddhhmmss”)

Now()

To initiate a date field as today’s date in Syteline form, need to use CURDATE().
