Entering 0.001 Second in DATETIME in SQL Server Transact-SQL
Why I Can Not Enter 0.001 Second in DATETIME values in SQL Server Transact-SQL?

If you enter milliseconds in data and time values, they will be rounded up to 10/3 millisecond increments, because DATETIME data type uses 4 bytes to store the time of the day. A 4-byte integer can only give an accuracy of one three-hundredth second, or 3.33 milliseconds.
So if you enter a time with 0.001 second, it will be rounded to 0.000 second. The tutorial exercise below gives you some good examples of how milliseconds are rounded by the SQL Server.
-- No rounding DECLARE @x DATETIME; SET @x = '2017-05-19 22:55:07.233'; SELECT @x; ---------------------------- 2017-05-19 22:55:07.233 -- Rounded down to 0.000 DECLARE @x DATETIME; SET @x = '2017-05-19 22:55:07.001'; SELECT @x; ---------------------------- 2017-05-19 22:55:07.000 -- Rounded up to 0.003 DECLARE @x DATETIME; SET @x = '2017-05-19 22:55:07.002'; SELECT @x; ---------------------------- 2017-05-19 22:55:07.003 -- Rounded up to 0.007 DECLARE @x DATETIME; SET @x = '2017-05-19 22:55:07.006'; SELECT @x; ---------------------------- 2017-05-19 22:55:07.007
If you want to store higher precision date and time values, you need to use DATETIME2 data type.
