Without knowing the details you could use a formula tool  with the following function:

 

datetimetoday()

 

To assign a timestamp to records before writing records to the database.

 

If you are using the IN-DB Formula tool a function like GETDATE() should get you the timestamp for the current DB you are connected to.

When writing to database are you using a Bulk Loader connection? If that is an available option to you it can improve write speeds.
