    Hi,

    Messing around with DateTime and DateTime2 in MSSQL

    Filling a record.

    Code:

          Clear Test
          Move 1000 to test.Test_ID
          Move (CurrentDateTime ()) to Test.dtTest
          Move (CurrentDateTime ()) to Test.dtTest2

    According to microsoft DateTime2 has a better accuracy then DateTime

    DateTime Accuracy Rounded to increments of .000, .003, or .007 seconds
    DateTime2 Precision, scale 0 to 7 digits, with an accuracy of 100ns. The default precision is 7 digits.

    So using following SQL script

    Code:
      Insert into [test] (Test_ID, dtTest, dtTest2)
      Values ('1001', GetDate(), SYSDATETIME())
    No proper result still no milli seconds

    But looking in the SQL management studio the field named dtTest2 create as DateTime2 in the studio is created as datetime2(0) so no precision at all.

    So I have to create the datatime2 with a size of 23.7, scanned the help. No information about.

    Testing again with the same SQL script I get all the digits. Management studio shows the correct 7 digits. Reading the record and field with 7 digit into DateTime variable the Max is 3 digits. Looks like the DateTime in dataflex is not more then with a 3 precision.

    Maybe something that can get attention in 20.0
