datetime (Transact-SQL)

Defines a date that is combined with a time of day with fractional seconds that is based on a 24-hour clock.

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.

For an overview of all Transact-SQL date and time data types and functions, see Date and Time Data Types and Functions (Transact-SQL). For information and examples that are common to date and time data types and functions, see Using Date and Time Data.

Supported String Literal Formats for datetime

The following tables list the supported string literal formats for datetime. Except for ODBC, datetime string literals are in single quotation marks ('), for example, 'string_literaL'. If the environment is not us_english, the string literals should be in the format N'string_literaL'.

Numeric

Description

Date formats:

[0]4/15/[19]96 -- (mdy)

[0]4-15-[19]96 -- (mdy)

[0]4.15.[19]96 -- (mdy)

[0]4/[19]96/15 -- (myd)

15/[0]4/[19]96 -- (dmy)

15/[19]96/[0]4 -- (dym)

[19]96/15/[0]4 -- (ydm)

[19]96/[0]4/15 -- (ymd)

Time formats:

14:30

14:30[:20:999]

14:30[:20.9]

4am

4 PM

You can specify date data with a numeric month specified. For example, 5/20/97 represents the twentieth day of May 1997. When you use numeric date format, specify the month, day, and year in a string that uses slash marks (/), hyphens (-), or periods (.) as separators. This string must appear in the following form:

  • number separator number separator number [time] [time]

When the language is set to us_english, the default order for the date is mdy. You can change the date order by using the SET DATEFORMAT statement.

The setting for SET DATEFORMAT determines how date values are interpreted. If the order does not match the setting, the values are not interpreted as dates, because they are out of range or the values are misinterpreted. For example, 12/10/08 can be interpreted as one of six dates, depending on the DATEFORMAT setting. A four-part year is interpreted as the year.

Alphabetical

Description

Apr[il] [15][,] 1996

Apr[il] 15[,] [19]96

Apr[il] 1996 [15]

[15] Apr[il][,] 1996

15 Apr[il][,][19]96

15 [19]96 apr[il]

[15] 1996 apr[il]

1996 APR[IL] [15]

1996 [15] APR[IL]

You can specify date data with a month specified as the full month name. For example, April or the month abbreviation of Apr specified in the current language; commas are optional and capitalization is ignored.

Here are some guidelines for using alphabetical date formats:

  • Enclose the date and time data in single quotation marks ('). For languages other than English, use N'

  • Characters that are enclosed in brackets are optional.

  • If you specify only the last two digits of the year, values less than the last two digits of the value of the two digit year cutoff configuration option are in the same century as the cutoff year. Values greater than or equal to the value of this option are in the century that comes before the cutoff year. For example, if two digit year cutoff is 2050 (default), 25 is interpreted as 2025 and 50 is interpreted as 1950. To avoid ambiguity, use four-digit years.

  • If the day is missing, the first day of the month is supplied.

The SET DATEFORMAT session setting is not applied when you specify the month in alphabetical form.

ISO 8601

Description

YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss[.mmm]

YYYYMMDDThh:mm:ss[.mmm]

Examples:

  • 2004-05-23T14:25:10

  • 2004-05-23T14:25:10.487

To use the ISO 8601 format, you must specify each element in the format. This also includes the T, the colons (:), and the period (.) that are shown in the format.

The brackets indicate that the fraction of second component is optional. The time component is specified in the 24-hour format.

The T indicates the start of the time part of the datetime value.

The advantage in using the ISO 8601 format is that it is an international standard with unambiguous specification. Also, this format is not affected by the SET DATEFORMAT or SET LANGUAGE setting.

Unseparated

Description

YYYYMMDD hh:mm:ss[.mmm]

ODBC

Description

{ ts '1998-05-02 01:23:56.123' }

{ d '1990-10-02' }

{ t '13:33:41' }

The ODBC API defines escape sequences to represent date and time values, which ODBC calls timestamp data. This ODBC timestamp format is also supported by the OLE DB language definition (DBGUID-SQL) supported by the Microsoft OLE DB provider for SQL Server. Applications that use the ADO, OLE DB, and ODBC-based APIs can use this ODBC timestamp format to represent dates and times.

ODBC timestamp escape sequences are of the format: { literal_type 'constant_value' }:

  • literal_type specifies the type of the escape sequence. Timestamps have three literal_type specifiers:

    • d = date only

    • t = time only

    • ts = timestamp (time + date)

  • 'constant_value' is the value of the escape sequence. constant_value must follow these formats for each literal_type.

    literal_typeconstant_value format
    d yyyy-mm-dd
    t hh:mm:ss[.fff]
    ts yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss[.fff]

ANSI and ISO 8601 Compliance

datetime is not ANSI or ISO 8601 compliant.

Examples

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';

Here is the result set.
