Hello Everyone,Hope you are fine.I recently have added a field into table "Date Created", that has the Default Value or Binding GETDATE(). The problem is that when the insert is done to this table it is not getting Current Time, but the time is two hours forward. Example: Lets say that the time now is 13:20 and when insert is done to this table(default value, without sending value to this field) it is getting the time 15:20  . FYI: The insert is done throught a sql procedure that is executed from a program.Any idea why is this happening.Thanks for your answers in advance.Best Regards,B.C. |

| It Selects the correct Time, just when it is inserting from that program that executes the procedure it is inserting the wrong time, in this case two hours forward. |

Is the stored procedure supplying/generating the time or is it using the column's default? Is the default GETDATE() or GETUTCDATE()?

Even if you have a column with a default value doesn't mean an application can insert another value.The default value is only stored if no value is supplied in the insert statement made by the application.
