XML timestamptype using VBScript or SQL

The XML “timestamptype” date/time format is as follows:

2015-11-19T11:02:02.000000

Recently during a project of integrating systems together and creating XML files, I’ve had to create this in VBScript and SQL.

Here’s the code:

SQL

convert(varchar(50),getdate(),127)

VBScript:

Year(Now) & "-" & Right("0" & Month(Now),2) & "-" & Right("0" & Day(Now),2) & "T" & Right("0" & Hour(Now),2) & ":" & Right("0" & Minute(Now),2) & ":" & Right("0" & Second(Now),2) & ".000000"

As you can see SQL is a lot cleaner than VBScript!
