SysDateTimeOffset Date and Time Function

Use the SysDateTimeOffset function to return the server's current date and time.

Microsoft SQL Server does not require a FROM clause to execute the SysDateTime function, but dbExpression requires a FROM clause to execute any query. For this function to execute on it's own, a "dummy" FROM clause must be provided.

Syntax

db.fx.SysDateTimeOffset()

Arguments

(none)

Returns

DateTimeOffset

Examples

Select Statement

Select the server's current date and time.

DateTimeOffset current = db.SelectOne(
        db.fx.SysDateTimeOffset()
    )
    .From(dbo.Purchase) // <- "dummy" from clause
    .Execute();
