Need to pass CURRENT_TIMESTAMP with execute()

How can I pass CURRENT_TIMESTAMP when using .execute()? I need the current timestamp with no timezone offset; the data in my DB is stored in local time (not UTC) with no timezone. I can use new Date() and remove the offset, but node-mssql still constructs the date with an offset of +00:00 that looks like this:

2019-02-27 09:14:31.6660000 +00:00

Additionally, I would prefer to use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP so that SQL Server evaluates the date on its own at execution time. Sending a timestamp from JS could potentially cause a slightly incorrect date if there is any delay in executing the stored procedure.

Software versions

• NodeJS: 10.15.1
• node-mssql: 4.3.2
• SQL Server: 2016

@GridTrekkor Parameters are here to pass values, not keywords. It just doesn’t feel right to do that.

OK - I’d like to wait to hear from @patriksimek about this, but it may be that we need to modify the datetime Type to allow current_timestamp as an allowed value which is then passed through literally…

For now, I suspect it just is not possible.
