SQL Server 2008 R2: getdate() returns wrong date

Question

We have a table which has a InsertDate column that gets its value by calling the getdate() function. But there are some records that have weird values like:

3879-07-08 11:25:43.947
4500-09-29 11:25:43.983
3258-03-20 16:33:52.493

Although these records are old (belongs to 9 months ago), my manager has asked me to find out what has happened in this case.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

This records are not created by individual user and on same day.

Answer 1

May be you have a Java application that uses Microsoft SQL Server JDBC Driver version 3.0 and Java Runtime Environment version 1.7 (JRE 1.7) to connect to a SQL Server database.

If this is the scenario, it may be caused due to JDBC drivers. The fix for that is available at the below link:
