I have tableA that i would like to pull data from in insert into TableB they are the same but i would like to have a column in tableB that puts the date that the records was added. I have tried SSIS, a query "insert into" nothing is working. I created tableB from tableA and added a column called "archivedate" with the default value of GETDATE() and DATATYPE of Smalldatetime. I think I have something wrong with the new column in TableB but not sure what.

you specified default as GetDate() ?

You can also use TimeStamp datatype.

Can you be more specific. Whether the column in Table B is empty or having wrong date ?
