MS SQL GETDATE() not working in SQL command

Question

I am trying to update a record in my MS SQL database but cannot seem to get the GETDATE() function to work.

Will somebody look at the code below and tell me were am going wrong?

BEGIN
    update Bookings
  set TotalBookings = TotalBookings+1
  set LastBooked = GETDATE()
  where PropertyId='1007' 
END

Answer 1

Your syntax is wrong it should be:

BEGIN
  update Bookings
  set TotalBookings = TotalBookings+1 ,
      LastBooked = GETDATE()
  where PropertyId='1007' 
END

You are using set multiple times, instead use set once and separate your columns with comma.
