Date and Time Datatypes

jConnect for JDBC supports the Adaptive Server datetime, smalldatetime, bigdatetime, bigtime, date, and time datatypes:

datetime can hold dates between January 1, 1753 and December 31, 9999 that are accurate to 1/300 second on platforms that support this level of granularity.
smalldatetime can hold dates from January 1, 1900 to June 6, 2079, with accuracy to the minute.
bigdatetime indicates the number of microseconds that have passed since January 1, 0000 0:00:00.000000. The range of legal bigdatetime values is from January 1, 0001 00:00:00.000000 to December 31, 9999 23:59:59.999999.
bigtime indicates the number of microseconds that have passed since the beginning of the day. The range of legal bigtime values is from 00:00:00.000000 to 23:59:59.999999.
date can hold dates from January 1, 0001 to December 31, 9999, exactly matching the allowable values in java.sql.Date. A direct mapping exists between java.sql.Date and the date datatype.
time can hold time between 00:00:00:000 and 23:59:59:990. A direct mapping exists between java.sql.Time and the time datatype.

Date, Time, Datetime, and Smalldatetime Datatypes
jConnect for JDBC supports date, time, datetime, and smalldatetime.
Bigdatetime and Bigtime Datatypes
When connecting to Adaptive Server 15.5 and later, jConnect transfers data using the bigdatetime and bigtime datatypes even if the receiving Adaptive Server columns are defined as datetime and time.
