Question

I have written a stored procedure that takes a datetime2 parameter. When I try to debug it from visual studio 2010 it asks me to enter the parameter in a textbox but I can’t find the correct format. I am testing the sproc by selecting it from the SQL Server Object Explorer and choosing the “Debug Procedure…” option. A dialog appears that asks me to enter the value. I tried 20120822 but it fails with “Operand type clash: int is incompatible with datetime2”. I also tried “20120822 09:00:00.0000000” but that gave me the error, “Incorrect syntax near ’09′”. Anyone able to help with how I should enter a date time value? I am using MS SQL Server 2008 R2

Answer 1

declare @dt datetime2
SET @dt=GETDATE()
select @dt

result is:
'2012-08-22 15:02:30.8070000'

Try giving the result shown above in single quotes.
