Abstract

This chapter specifies a single, unified clock for TSQL2 timestamps. A times-tamp encodes a time value and is composed of a physical realization and a temporal interpretation. The physical realization is an encoding as a pattern of bits while the temporal interpretation stipulates the meaning of each bit pattern, the time to which each pattern corresponds. Without such an interpretation, the meaning of a timestamp stored in a database or by an operating system is unclear.
