A Timestamp of this type has little or nothing to do with a Datetime.  While
the names can be confusing a true timestamp is simply a binary number that
is guaranteed to be higher in value than the last one you got.  If you want
to keep a datetime then insert the results into a table that has an extra
column where you place the GETDATE() at the time you issue the select.
