Need to change time on SQL server, how will this affect transactions?

  • I have a SQL server that serves a intense webshop with ~3500 transactions every hour 24/7.

    I need to change the server time on this server (back ofcourse 🙁 ), how will this affect the transactions?

    That is that I can have two transaction with 10 minutes apart and the last one is happening before the first one.

    Is the SQL server taking care of this or do I need to stop the service, change the time and then start the service again?

    /M

  • Unless there's something in your SQL code that's time-dependant (do check), it won't have any effect.
