Abstract
Many database management systems and operating systems provide support for time values. This support is present at both the logical and physical levels. The logical level is the user ’s view of the time values and the query level operations permitted on those values, while the physical level concerns the bit layout of the time values and the bit level operations on those values. The physical level serves as a platform for the logical level but is inaccessible to the average user. This chapter presents aone design for the physical level of time values in TSQL2.
