[AccessD] Rounding in SQL Server ODBC

Hi all

My mistake - thought the underlying data type of datetime was double as in Access, but:

<quote>

Date and time data from January 1, 1753, through December 31, 9999, with an accuracy of three-hundredths of a second, or 3.33 milliseconds.

</quote>

Thus, if you wish to store datetime in SQL Server with millisecond resolution you'll have to use double - and run your own converting routines - or leave the date field rounded down to integer seconds and add another field for milliseconds resolution in double or smallint.

The SQL Server ODBC driver sometimes does some funny rounding when handling doubles:

These are the last decimal part of Doubles. As you can see, they are rounded by 3, sort of.
