auto date & time

there is an auto increment function at SQL server.
is there a function to automatically to stamp the date and time of the
record?
is it the only way to do it at application level?
thanks a lot.
TonyHi Tony,
You can set a default of getdate() on a DateTime Column an this will record
the current date and time when you insert a row
Is that what you mean?
kind regards

insert into table values(getdate())
or when you create a table,
create table table1 (d datetime default getdate())
