The database type is timestamp. if i used datetime it will work but timestamp can't be mapped to an java type. i suppose this is a problem of microsofts jdbc plugin and it can on be fixed by using an other all working plugin.

See http://www.sqlteam.com/article/timestamps-vs-datetime-data-types

Ahhh. The dreaded TIMESTAMP datatype. Unfortunately you really can't use TIMESTAMP for any type of comparison. Or really for much of anything. To quote from SQL Server Books Online:

The SQL Server timestamp data type has nothing to do with times or dates. SQL Server timestamps are binary numbers that indicate the relative sequence in which data modifications took place in a database. The timestamp data type was originally implemented to support the SQL Server recovery algorithms.

It further states Never use timestamp columns in keys, especially primary keys, because the timestamp value changes every time the row is modified.

Note the "nothing to do with times or dates". You might be able to model this as a Long or NSData.

Hello,

maybe somebody can help me with using MS SQL SERVER 2008 and datatype "timestamp".

I get following Exception when fetching Entity with an attribute of type "timestamp":

Error:
The conversion from binary to TIMESTAMP is unsupported.

What type is that column in the database? I looks like it is defined as some binary type.

Reason:
The conversion from binary to TIMESTAMP is unsupported.

I tried all NSCalenderDate value types but nothing changes. Maybe the jdbc plugin is not usable for sql server 2008.

Hopefully somebody can help me.


I have only used SQL Server 2005. For that I use this prototype as the timestamp definition:
