Using TIMESTAMP with UPDATE command |
Similarly, a TIMESTAMP value of row(s) would be
automatically updated if we UPDATE any value of row(s) in the table. New
TIMESTAMP value will always be the next incremented value of the largest
TIMESTAMP value exist among all rows in the table.
For example, Execute following UPDATE command on the table.
Listing 7
UPDATE MyTestTable SET SmallDateTime=0
WHERE RowID = 1
If you open the table now, the TIMESTAMP column of RowID
must have incremented by one to the largest TIMESTAMP available in the table.
Listing 8
RowID TimeStamp SmallDateTime DateTime
----------- ------------------ ----------------------- -----------------------
1 <span class=Bold>0x0000000000000FA3</span> 1900-01-01 00:00:00 2008-09-20 02:26:35.700
2 0x0000000000000FA2 2008-09-20 02:39:00 2008-09-20 02:38:39.763

Thanks, Abhisheck. Good article. I can now see how the timestamp column could be used to reliably filter all new/changed records.

To know the latest Timestamp in table you can write a query like "select @@dbts from tblName" .. Yes TimeStamp is datatype which is ofcourse not related to any date & time like data types. here dbtp means data base time stamp you can remember simply with this expansion.. When defining/using a timestamp in a table no need to declare its column name..But the rowversion would ask for the column name eventhough they both are similar in functionality as per my knowledge..

"Wikipedia.org defines timestamp in very clear manner, as follows:
A timestamp is a sequence of characters, denoting the date and/or time at which a certain event occurred."
Right. But TIMESTAMP in MS SQL Server has nothing to do with date or time.
