One of the most confusing datatypes to work with in SQL Server, for new people, seems to be the DATETIME/SMALLDATETIME datatypes. Questions abound and, even worse, incorrectly written queries abound using these data types. This video will teach you the fundamentals of working with date and time data in SQL Server so that you can avoid these common query writing pitfalls.

Highlights from this video:
  • Differences between DATETIME and SMALLDATETIME
  • Implicit date rounding and Rounding dates
  • Using DATETIME data in the BETWEEN clause
  • Writing WHERE clauses and <, >, <= and >= with dates
  • Default values for time and dates
  • Should dates use single quotes, double quotes or no quotes (or does it matter)?
and much more
