INSERT INTO #mh4 DEFAULT VALUES;
INSERT INTO #mh4 DEFAULT VALUES;
SELECT * FROM #mh4;
/*

/*
    To convert timestamp value to numeric , use the
    implicit conversion property of timestamp to numeric.
    The resulting value can then be converted to numeric easily.
    Please note that doing "Convert( numeric( 20, 0 ) , ts )" will
    result in the error:

Server: Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 1
Error converting data type timestamp to numeric.
*/

SELECT ts , CONVERT( numeric(20,0), ts + 0) AS Numeric_ts
FROM #mh4;
/*
ts         Numeric_ts      
------------------ ----------------------
0x00000000000003FC          1020
0x00000000000003FD          1021
*/

go
DROP TABLE #mh4;
go
