kevin writes "I would like to add multiple timestamps columns to a
SQL Server table.
However I have come up with an error saying
Msg 2738, Level 16, State 37000:
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]A table can only have one
timestamp column. Because table 'JOB' already has one, the
column 'BOOKED_DATE' cannot be added.

Does not SQL Server allow multiple timestamp columns in a table.
If not is there a Microsoft or SQL Server solution to this or
is the answer is to simply put one timestamp column in a table.
The issue is that there would have to be a major redesign of many tables, is there an easy solution to this problem.

Thanks "

Are you a db2 developer?

timestamps don't mean the same thing...and in sql server you can only have 1

I think you want dattime columns...

and note, sql server only goes to 3 position for microseconds...

not 6 like db2
