Datetime vs Timestamp Sql Server

This question already has an answer here:

What is the difference between Timestamp and Datetime SQL Server?

I thought Both formats are capable of storing date + time. Then, Where the difference is lying between them?

But Timestamp is not capable of storing date, time information.

Still Whats the difference?

Solution

According to the documentation, timestamp is a synonym for rowversion – it’s automatically generated and guaranteed1 to be unique. datetime isn’t – it’s just a data type which handles dates and times, and can be client-specified on insert etc.


1 Assuming you use it properly, of course. See comments.
