Sometimes there are discontinuities in value ranges. For example, 9 is missing in 8,10..16. This is due to the addition of a decimal point when fractional precision is greater than zero.

datetime2 is returned as the typename for smalldatetime and datetime because the driver uses this as a common type for transmitting all SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP values to the server.

SQL_CA_SS_VARIANT_SQL_TYPE is a new descriptor field. This field was added to the IRD and IPD to enable applications to specify the value type associated with sqlvariant (SQL_SSVARIANT) columns and parameters

SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE is a new IPD-only field to enable applications to control how values for parameters bound as SQL_TYPE_TYPETIMESTAMP (or as SQL_SS_VARIANT with a C type of SQL_C_TYPE_TIMESTAMP) are sent to the server. If SQL_DESC_CONCISE_TYPE is SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP (or is SQL_SS_VARIANT and the C type is SQL_C_TYPE_TIMESTAMP) when SQLExecute or SQLExecDirect is called, the value of SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE determines the tabular data stream (TDS) type of the parameter value, as follows:

The default setting of SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE is SQL_SS_TYPE_DEFAULT. The settings of SQL_DESC_PRECISION and SQL_DESC_LENGTH are validated with the setting of SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE as described in the table above. If this validation fails, SQL_ERROR is returned and a diagnostic record is logged with SQLState 07006 and the message "Restricted data type attribute violation". This error is also returned if SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE is set to a value other than SQL_SS_TYPE DEFAULT and DESC_CONCISE_TYPE is not SQL_TYPE_TIMESTAMP. These validations are performed when descriptor consistency validation occurs, for example:

  • When SQL_DESC_DATA_PTR is changed.

  • At prepare or execute time (when SQLExecute, SQLExecDirect, SQLSetPos, or SQLBulkOperations is called).

  • When an application forces a non-deferred prepare by calling SQLPrepare with deferred prepare disabled, or by calling SQLNumResultCols, SQLDescribeCol, or SQLDescribeParam for a statement that is prepared but not executed.

When SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE is set by a call to SQLSetDescField, its value must be SQL_SS_TYPE_DEFAULT, SQL_SS_TYPE_SMALLDATETIME, or SQL_SS_TYPE_DATETIME. If this is not the case, SQL_ERROR is returned and a diagnostic record is logged with SQLState HY092 and the message "Invalid attribute/option identifier".

The SQL_CA_SS_SERVER_TYPE attribute can be used by applications that depend on functionality supported by datetime and smalldatetime, but not datetime2. For example, datetime2 requires the use of the dateadd and datediif functions, whereas datetime and smalldatetime also allow arithmetic operators. Most applications will not need to use this attribute and its use should be avoided.
