Nice question.

But 23:59:59.9999999 is rather easy to round to 100 microseconds, isn't it. So I'm surprised so many have it wrong.

Excellent question. I honestly had to run the code to get the correct answer but got a lesson on datetime2.

I am rather surprised at the low percentage of correct answers.

Correct answers: 37% (76)
Incorrect answers: 63% (129)
Total attempts: 205



And the implications this could have to those designing a DB, and inadvertently or deliberately using different definitions for a date time object in different tables (based only on each individual table's requirements) and then, when selecting, wondering why Select statements using a join / case / where on a date column do not return the correct data.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

Thanks for making me think... I had to sit there and keep reminding myself how the datetime2 values would round and then tried to keep two mental counts (statement 1 and statement 2) in my head as I did the rounding...

:) glad I got it right, and glad I didn't have to use more than the fingers on one hand for each count :)

I'm really proud of me because instead of running the query, I went to SQL help to find out what where the 4 and 7 in the datetime2 declaration.
I've learned something new in the correct way: putting attention, investigating, thinking and, only then, answering.

Speaking for myself, I'm relatively untroubled by missing questions like this. I always answer them based on what I know at the moment of answering, without testing in SSMS or googling. On the other hand, if I were using similar code in a project, I would actually test and research the situation. I doubt I'm the only one answering like that.

Patrick, you are not the only one answering the QOTD this way. I also missed this one today.

Thanks for the question Bitbucket, and the reinforcement of the nuances of DateTime comparison.
