In SQL Server database, the GETDATE() function is used to retrieve the current system date and time. It is easy to use, simply include this function in your query to get the current system date and time.

For example, you can use the following statement to get the current system date and time:

SELECT GETDATE() AS CurrentDateTime

This will return a result set containing the current date and time, similar to: 2021-10-01 12:30:45.000. You can use this function in any query that requires obtaining the current date and time.
