I want to update the time in a datetime field with the current time.

Fields current value is:
2013-11-11 00:00:00.000

I want to insert this into another table and when I do I want to grab the current time and update that field.

field name: picked_dt
Table: oeordlin

or is there a way through sql to update the time when the picked_dt is updated?

one way is like this:


update oeordlin set 
       picked_dt = getdate()
output deleted.picked_dt
into otherTable(picked_dt)
from   oeordlin
--WHERE ....

EDIT:
don't forget a WHERE clause if there is more than one row in oeordlin

i think this based on OPs description


INSERT OtherTable (DateField, other columns...)
SELECT DATEADD(dd,-DATEDIFF(dd,0,GETDATE()),GETDATE()) + picked_dt, other columns...
FROM oeordlin
