Is it possible to deceive SQL Server to return a different date on GetDate()
without actually changing the machine date?
This would be great, since we have a database with old data and I'm trying to test some queries that use getdate().
I can change my machine date but that brings some other problems with other applications...
Any tips?
Thanks!
According to the documentation for getdate():
This value is derived from the operating system of the computer on which the instance of SQL Server is running.
Since it's derived from the OS, I don't think you can change it separately.
