Converting strings to date and time data types.

If a string containing only a time value (no date) is converted to a date/time data type, SQL Anywhere uses the current date.

If the fraction portion of a time is less than 3 digits, SQL Anywhere interprets the value the same way regardless of the whether it is preceded by a period or a colon: one digit means tenths, two digits mean hundredths, and three digits mean thousandths.

Examples

SQL Anywhere converts the milliseconds value in the same manner regardless of the separator.

12:34:56.7 to 12:34:56.700
12:34:56:7 to 12:34:56.700
12.34.56.78 to 12:34:56.780
12.34.56:78 to 12:34:56.780
12:34:56.789 to 12:34:56.789
12:34:56:789 to 12:34:56.789
