                                          | You would update the computer's date/time settings as SQL Server uses that. Bottom right hard corner on the desktop...Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/ |

                                          | It is returning the timestamp of the system where the database server is running.So if you are in Rio de Janeiro and your database server is in New York, you would see the timestamp to be one hour behind (or something like that). |

                                          | Well, I did a little research and discovered it actually the SQl Server is unique which the time can't be configured, because it use the time of system,  different from Oracle, Postgres [...], which can be configured.Thanks very much for the answers.Ass,Naiade Lima |
