Hi all,

i am facing a problem when i insert some data into SQL server. The problem is i not able to insert the date time into the TimeStamp column.
My statement shown at below,

Insert into USERS(USER_ID,USER_NAME,Last_Update_Timestamp)
VALUES('1001','JOHN',CONVERT(TIMESTAMP,'1996-06-26 9:30:00.000',121));

The error shown that, Msg 273, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Cannot insert an explicit value into a timestamp column. Use INSERT with a column list to exclude the timestamp column, or insert a DEFAULT into the timestamp column.

Someone please help my in this problem. Thanks.

"Timestamp" is a special data type that is rarely used, run this in management studio and see how it looks:
declare @table table (
	id int,
	timest timestamp)
insert into @table (id) select 1

select * from @table
What you're looking for is "datetime". This will probably work (just make sure to change the data type of the Last_Update_Timestamp to datetime also):
Insert into USERS(USER_ID,USER_NAME,Last_Update_Timestamp)
VALUES('1001','JOHN',CONVERT(datetime,'1996-06-26 9:30:00.000'))
