Column width

[aspnetpal]

Hi Every1, I'm getting this error.
'Cannot specify a column width on data type smalldatetime.'
I'm using SQL Server & I've check the data type in the db & it's same
as smalldatetime.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks

I've found the problem.
I was trying to set the width for the column in my stored procedure
like this.

ColumnName smalldatetime (4),

which is not allowed. The correct form is as follows ...

ColumnName smalldatetime,

Hope this helps. Also if you found the solution to any problem, please
post it so people can benefit from it.

Thanks
