Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Azure Synapse Analytics Analytics Platform System (PDW)

Defines a date that is combined with a time of day. The time is based on a 24-hour day, with seconds always zero (:00) and without fractional seconds.

Note

Use the time, date, datetime2 and datetimeoffset data types for new work. These types align with the SQL Standard. They are more portable. time, datetime2 and datetimeoffset provide more seconds precision. datetimeoffset provides time zone support for globally deployed applications.

Converting date and time data

When you convert to date and time data types, SQL Server rejects all values it can't recognize as dates or times. For information about using the CAST and CONVERT functions with date and time data, see CAST and CONVERT (Transact-SQL).

Converting smalldatetime to other date and time types

This section describes what occurs when a smalldatetime data type is converted to other date and time data types.

For a conversion to date, the year, month, and day are copied. The following code shows the results of converting a smalldatetime value to a date value.

DECLARE @smalldatetime smalldatetime = '1955-12-13 12:43:10';  
DECLARE @date date = @smalldatetime  
  
SELECT @smalldatetime AS '@smalldatetime', @date AS 'date';  
  
--Result  
--@smalldatetime          date  
------------------------- ----------  
--1955-12-13 12:43:00     1955-12-13  
--  
--(1 row(s) affected)

When the conversion is to time(n), the hours, minutes, and seconds are copied. The fractional seconds are set to 0. The following code shows the results of converting a smalldatetime value to a time(4) value.

DECLARE @smalldatetime smalldatetime = '1955-12-13 12:43:10';  
DECLARE @time time(4) = @smalldatetime;  
  
SELECT @smalldatetime AS '@smalldatetime', @time AS 'time';  
  
--Result  
--@smalldatetime          time  
------------------------- -------------  
--1955-12-13 12:43:00     12:43:00.0000  
--  
--(1 row(s) affected)

When the conversion is to datetime, the smalldatetime value is copied to the datetime value. The fractional seconds are set to 0. The following code shows the results of converting a smalldatetime value to a datetime value.

DECLARE @smalldatetime smalldatetime = '1955-12-13 12:43:10';  
DECLARE @datetime datetime = @smalldatetime;  
  
SELECT @smalldatetime AS '@smalldatetime', @datetime AS 'datetime';  
  
--Result  
--@smalldatetime          datetime  
------------------------- -----------------------  
--1955-12-13 12:43:00     1955-12-13 12:43:00.000  
--  
--(1 row(s) affected)

For a conversion to datetimeoffset(n), the smalldatetime value is copied to the datetimeoffset(n) value. The fractional seconds are set to 0, and the time zone offset is set to +00:0. The following code shows the results of converting a smalldatetime value to a datetimeoffset(4) value.

DECLARE @smalldatetime smalldatetime = '1955-12-13 12:43:10';  
DECLARE @datetimeoffset datetimeoffset(4) = @smalldatetime;  
  
SELECT @smalldatetime AS '@smalldatetime', @datetimeoffset AS 'datetimeoffset(4)';  
  
--Result  
--@smalldatetime          datetimeoffset(4)  
------------------------- ------------------------------  
--1955-12-13 12:43:00     1955-12-13 12:43:00.0000 +00:0  
--  
--(1 row(s) affected)

For the conversion to datetime2(n), the smalldatetime value is copied to the datetime2(n) value. The fractional seconds are set to 0. The following code shows the results of converting a smalldatetime value to a datetime2(4) value.

DECLARE @smalldatetime smalldatetime = '1955-12-13 12:43:10';  
DECLARE @datetime2 datetime2(4) = @smalldatetime;  
  
SELECT @smalldatetime AS '@smalldatetime', @datetime2 AS ' datetime2(4)';  
  
--Result  
--@smalldatetime           datetime2(4)  
------------------------- ------------------------  
--1955-12-13 12:43:00     1955-12-13 12:43:00.0000  
--  
--(1 row(s) affected)

Examples

A. Casting string literals with seconds to smalldatetime

The following example compares the conversion of seconds in string literals to smalldatetime.

SELECT   
     CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29'     AS smalldatetime)  
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:30'     AS smalldatetime)  
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:59:59.998' AS smalldatetime);

Input	Output
2007-05-08 12:35:29	2007-05-08 12:35:00
2007-05-08 12:35:30	2007-05-08 12:36:00
2007-05-08 12:59:59.998	2007-05-08 13:00:00

B. Comparing date and time data types

The following example compares the results of casting a string to each date and time data type.

SELECT   
     CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29. 1234567 +12:15' AS time(7)) AS 'time'   
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29. 1234567 +12:15' AS date) AS 'date'   
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29.123' AS smalldatetime) AS   
        'smalldatetime'   
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29.123' AS datetime) AS 'datetime'   
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29. 1234567 +12:15' AS datetime2(7)) AS   
        'datetime2'  
    ,CAST('2007-05-08 12:35:29.1234567 +12:15' AS datetimeoffset(7)) AS   
        'datetimeoffset';

Data type	Output
time	12:35:29. 1234567
date	2007-05-08
smalldatetime	2007-05-08 12:35:00
datetime	2007-05-08 12:35:29.123
datetime2	2007-05-08 12:35:29. 1234567
