@@DBTS (Transact-SQL)

Remarks

@@DBTS returns the last-used timestamp value of the current database. An insert or update of a row with a timestamp column generates a new timestamp value.

Changes to the transaction isolation levels do not affect the @@DBTS function.

Examples

This example returns the current timestamp from the [!INCLUDEssSampleDBnormal] database.
