According to the title of the article, you’re probably here for one reason, to find the maximum value for a smalldatetime.
Here it is:
2079-06-06 23:59:00
And the Minimum is:
1900-01-01 00:00:00
And here’s the proof:
[cc lang=”sql”]
DECLARE @smalldatetime SMALLDATETIME
SET @smalldatetime = GETDATE()
WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
SET @smalldatetime = DATEADD(dd,1,@smalldatetime)
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
WHILE 1 = 1
BEGIN
BEGIN TRY
SET @smalldatetime = DATEADD(mi,1,@smalldatetime)
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
SELECT @smalldatetime
BREAK
END CATCH
END
BREAK;
END CATCH
END
[/cc]
The precision for smalldatetime is 1 minute. Meaning that you can only specify minute intervals.
If you stumbled on this article and are wondering why someone might want the max smalldatetime, here’s a possible use.
Say you have an effective date for a record. By this, I mean that this particular record is active from x date to y date. If the current day falls outside of that range, then this record is no longer active.
So if you do not want to define an end date that the record is effective for (meaning it is always active), the best way to do this, would be to insert the maximum smalldatetime in order to signify, “always effective”.
2079 not long enough of a time for you? Hmm.. either you are a purist or somehow think you will be around that long, or are VERY devoted to your company. In any case, use Max datetime value instead.
