What is difference between datetime and timestamp

Question

What is difference between datetime and timestamp datatype in Sql Server?.

Answer 1

timestamp is the synonym for the rowversion data type and is subject to the behavior of data type synonyms. In DDL statements, use rowversion instead of timestamp wherever possible. In simple way to tell, It means the updating time of row. datetime means the time of creation of row. DateTime is constant and other is changeable as the real time and local time.
