bug - insert miliseconds

I noticed that my tables are not storing the milisecond values that I
am inserting.  Is this a bug?  If not, can someone please explain what
is going or or point me to a resource so I can research it further.


create table #t (col1 int identity,col2 datetime)
insert into #t (col2)
SELECT  '2006-03-21 18:59:50.985'
select * from #t

Hi Dave,

Thats curious, in SQL 2000 this script:

create table #t (col1 int identity,col2 datetime)
insert into #t (col2)
SELECT  '2006-03-21 18:59:50.985'
select * from #t

Results in:
2006-03-21 18:59:50.987

If I look up "datetime and smalldatetime" in Books Online it says:
"Date and time data from January 1, 1753 through December 31, 9999, to an
accuracy of one three-hundredth of a second (equivalent to 3.33 milliseconds
or 0.00333 seconds). Values are rounded to increments of .000, .003, or .007
seconds, as shown in the table. (the table below not included here)"

Maybe this helps you somehow.

Yes, it does.  I should have looked this up.  It rounds to the nearest
.003 second.

Thanks!
