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.
